The debut single from CD/EX is a sharp-shooting package harnessing the power of the most succulent of those deadly sins, L-U-S-T. Recorded with renowned producer and engineer Andy Miller (Sons and Daughters, Mogwai, The Delgados) at his own Gargleblast Studios, I Need Your Touch perfectly encapsulates that mix of desire and insecurity – "I know that I act real tough but I need your touch”
With some good ol’ fashioned braggadocio thrown in for good measure – ”You know that I’ve got the good stuff, I need your touch”
Let's face it, everybody loves a good I-wanna-fuck-you-so-bad song, Prince and the Buzzcocks made a career out of them and if it’s good enough for them…
The single is backed by the thrash-a-long jaunt Pinhole Suit, the story of a gentleman caught being unfaithful. We join him on the first day since his infidelity he has been allowed out to shindig with his friends without his spouse attached to his arm. The catch is he has to wear a suit filled with hundreds of pinhole cameras so his significant other can keep an eye on him. In his twisted psyche his wife has become an authority figure whose omnipresence is a punishment for his behaviour, and in remonstration he attempts to sleep with anything that moves in order for her to see who he really is:
“I’ll be the hound, you be the guru, I’ll beg for scraps and you’ll see the truth. Video: me in the mire, all the bodies coming done the wire”.
You didn’t think it was just a 90-second blitzkrieg wall of sonic rage now did you?

“This issue’s ebullient garland goes to the punk-spattered power-pop of Glasgow’s Chris Devotion and The Expectations recalling JSBX and RFTC; it’s all the best acronyms rolled into one.”
