Bandcamp [Release date 29.01.25]
Hats Off Gentlemen It’s Adequate – Malcom Galloway and Mark Gatland – have released this three song EP ‘Between Two Worlds’, ahead of their new album, ‘The Uncertainty Principle’, which is due in a couple of months’ time.
The EP contains ‘Between Two Worlds’, which is on the new album, plus a non-album instrumental ‘Helgoland’ and a live recording of ‘imtiredandeverythinghurts’ from last year’s Prog For Peart festival in Abingdon, Oxfordshire.
‘Between Two Worlds ‘is about someone having an MRI scan to find out if a cancer has spread, and until they get the results, it is as if they are simultaneously living in two worlds with very different futures. With a gentle piano and strings backing a strongly emotional vocal by Malcolm Galloway, this song is both moving and enjoyable at the same time,
The instrumental ‘Helgoland’ was inspired by the trip to the North Sea island by Heisenberg, where he had a breakthrough in the mathematics of quantum physics. A jaunty instrumental with a couple of sublime guitar breaks. One thing for sure, with any Hats Off Gentlemen It’s Adequate music you end up knowing more about life and the world around you than you did at the start of listening.
‘imtiredandeverythinghurts’ shows what a heavy proposition live they are, as everything from the vocals through to the guitar and rhythm section have an urgency about them. Neat live bonus to round off the EP.
It’s only £2.50 on Bandcamp – absolute bargain for three songs of extraordinary depth and beauty. ****
