Tearing at the seams with a boundless, tempestuous and fiercely
invigorating energy, ‘Care Less’ was produced by Dead Nature main-man and
Spring King-pin: Tarek Musa, and proudly wears his seal of approval. Seeking
out Musa to capture the raw energy of their electrifying live performances, the
track marks a significantly bolder, brasher, and more daredevil side to the
band that tips its hat to the fuzz-flecked rampages of IDLES or Cage The
Elephant, or the loose-cannon punk leanings of Parquet Courts.
Clocking in at a neat 2’30, ‘Care Less’ fires on all cylinders from the
moment go; a white-hot blaze of buzz-saw guitars, motorik percussive hurtle and
sneering gasoline-soaked lyrical apathy.
Speaking about the duality of message mirrored within ‘Care Less’,
SHEAFS says: “Care Less was written with a double narrative. On the
surface the lyrics condemn those applicable social pressures of ‘fitting in’,
much like being back at school and aspiring to be one of the ‘cool kids’. The
second narrative is a something of a self reflective one. Caring less about
having a sound that is refined and embracing one that isn’t…. We see this track
as a major stepping-stone in our song writing and will dictate where we go
next.”
A blink-and-you’ll-miss-it thrill, ‘Care Less’ was written with the same
sense of urgency that is evident from the breakneck pace of the record.
‘Care Less’ was quickly laid down in a matter of days at Whitewood Recording
Studio, Liverpool, with additional mastering by Mike Cave (whom recently mixed
and mastered Lewis Capaldi’s latest chart topping album).
‘Care Less’ immediately follows a Summer of frenetic activity for the
quintet, that seen them release their sensational recent single ‘Popular Music’
(also produced by Tarek Musa), win over crammed halls at Dot2Dot in Nottingham,
Manchester and Bristol, but also play to a big hometown crowd at Tramlines
Festival in Sheffield. Sealing the deal on a summer of groundbreaking shows,
SHEAFS were also crowned ‘UK Talent Winners’ at Mad Cool Festival in Madrid
this year.
The Mad Cool honour follows consistent support across major national
radio station including BBC Radio 1 (Huw Stephens, Phil Taggart), BBC 6
Music (Steve Lamacq, Chris Hawkins & Tom Robinson), Radio X (John Kennedy,
Gordon Smart), BBC Introducing (Dean Jackson & Christian Carlisle) &
Virgin Radio (Edith Bowman); support that confirms all eyes are on this most
promising of bands’ every move.
Following a stint of high profile support slots with the likes of The
Amazons, The Coral, and Idles, plus their recent tour with US rockers Greta Van
Fleet which saw them win over audiences all over Europe and at packed-out room
at London's Electric Ballroom, SHEAFS now look forward to a headline tour of
their own. Slating-up gigs this Autumn at prestigious venues such as The
Foundry in Sheffield and Rescue Rooms in Nottingham, don’t miss the band as
