Since 1992, the collective around
David Christian
has been stoically producing unique noise pop.
Comet Gain
are Comet Gain, a band in which the
Swell Maps
and the
Undertones
shake hands in the Wigan Casino. Admittedly, a skewed picture. But as with every outstanding band, one fails to describe the sound of Comet Gain. You just have to hear it. When the Corona shit hit the fan in 2020, David Christian, who now lives in the beautiful south of France, had the leisure to dig through the considerable Comet Gain archive and presented the astonished Comet Gain community with new compilations of outtakes, demos, live recordings, and simply forgotten and never released hits every Bandcamp Friday.
The Misfit Jukebox
is now a compilation of these compilations, the topper-most of the popper-most from a hitherto unseen or unheard part of the CG universe. First time on CD and LP.
"... So here I am with a new Comet Gain, old friends like
Jon Slade Darren Smith
making demos in a London living room for whatever comes next. 'Post USA' 'Skinny Wolves' both sung by
Rachel Evans
are more spiky elbowed little skeletons, sometime after the jagged rock opera of a third album pop over to
Phil
's Highgateish flat near the shadow of suicide bridge to do some gentler songs among covers of
John Cale
we do 'My Time Tunnel' promptly forget it exists... when the genial sound stack
Woodie Taylor
arrives we embark on an expedition of EPs, LPs, 45s in a non linear gibbering slow/rush of an almost career... 'Never Die' was a
Réa listes
LP outtake now home on
Beautiful Despair
12" EP for
Kevin Pedersen
. 'No Spotlite On Sometimes', 'Herbert Huncke Part 3' we somehow did in an airless east end dungeon while visiting punk guitarists stole some of the band for local pup crawls. This Herbert H was the first we did, meant for the
Germs Of Youth
45 but a typical CG error meant the muckering about jam version ended up for the disc. 'Fists In The Pocket' was a softer demo I lost before the band heard and 'Weekend Dreams' was on
Kiko Amat
's
La Doble Vida
split 45 with
Hello Cuca
. We did this in a feral one take before the neighbors got back from work. I like it that way. By the time we got to the almost professional 'Paperback Ghosts' and 'Howl Of The Lonely Crowd' we'd lost
Jon Kay Ishikawa
but found
Ben Phillpson
,
James Hornsey
,
Anne Laure Guillain
. "Your Just Lonely" are B Sides from the records featuring friends
Alasdair MacLean
,
Lupe Nunez
on vocals. This particular tale ends with the most recent song which is about the group I've just wrote of 'Even This Could Be Beautiful' because yes even this erratic, warped, mumbling, innocent things can be. It's been fun so far. Enjoy the LP." --David
