| A dark slab of pop-noir that pulses with punk funk energy, "Word Of Mouth" is the second single to be taken from Padded Cell's debut album "Night Must Fall" (DCR72). A cautionary tale of urban decay and spoiled love, as told by the beguiling voice of Chloe Raunet (of London band Battant from the roster of Kill The DJ Records), "Word Of Mouth" recalls the Au Pairs or Bush Tetras fused with some shade of early 80's New York electro.
The Glimmer's remix ups the tempo and emphasises the punk funk swagger, leaving Chloe's vocals out in preference to the sordid street parley of an unidentified clochard. Aimed squarely at the dancefloor, this electro-fied devil's dub will have the late night crowds quivering with distorted happiness. The second remix on this single comes courtesy of Binary Chaffinch, a shadowy figure whose bird like features are usually seen beneath a cloak of silver behind the drum kit for cosmic disco doom band Chrome Hoof - a factor most apparent in the uncommon percussive approach that has rendered the original track unrecognisable except for the vocals, and virtually incomparable with any other musical style except in terms of it's genius! The cover art depicts the fruits of Padded Cell's unsavoury collaboration with La Boca, an act of visual necromancy that has been brought to life further in the forthcoming video directed by Julian Hand, which by paying homage to Fassbinder's "Nosferatu" will introduce this triangular cyclopean personage to the world as more than a 2-dimensional image, instead an actual creature, who although without arms of even a brow, will be casting her eye over the masses as part of Padded Cell's immanent live show!.
