Suburban Breeze
Track four of Education & Recreation, the B-side of the Money Music 7-inch.
Surprise Chef, from Education & Recreation (2022)
It runs 2:07 and was released as a single in late August 2022 as the B-side of "Money Music"; Clash's piece is dated August 24 and Joy of Violent Movement's August 23. A band note quoted by Clash says it was written with the Melbourne flautist Erica Tucceri in mind, one of several written in spring, carrying the feeling of spring in Coburg, though not intended, and that a cold-as-ice bell part from Hudson makes the quiet section bump. We could not confirm that Tucceri is credited as the player, and found no writer split. Clash called it hugely atmospheric with a steady rhythm giving room to move; Joy of Violent Movement heard Return to Forever, Herbie Hancock's Headhunters era, hip-hop breakbeats and film scores, with twinkling keys, organ arpeggios, flute, sinuous bass and metronomic percussion, like breezy, easy-going summer afternoons. Forte noted angular rhythms, irregular time signatures and erratic reprises. Setlist.fm shows it played six times. We found no chart, video, covers or samples.
