ATTEMPT – In The Press
“A bit of Holland-era Beach Boys as filtered through a UFO Club aesthetic. Keep this on repeat while you quietly melt into
your office chair.” – Paste
“A satin-draped uncanny valley, a clever evocation of
all the plush pleasures of ‘70s soft-rock. It’s just as likely to disturb as
delight.” – AllMusic

“Against The Light” (Desperate
Spirits, Oct. 27) is the new four-song EP from ATTEMPT, the Lexington, Kentucky-based recording project of Trevor Tremaine, best-known and
most-adored as the drummer of the enduring noise band Hair Police.
Beyond that introduction, there’s no use in trying to
describe ATTEMPT any better than
what Elephant 6 co-founder / The Apples in Stereo front man, Robert Schneider says:
“ATTEMPT is
like listening into the future of underground music: 10cc plus Steely Dan
playing jazz fusion on a peyote trip.”
Tremaine also speaks for himself, explaining the EP’s nearly-ten
minute long title track, saying, “The conceit of ‘Against The Light’ is jaywalking as a metonym for taking a selfish
and irresponsible and irrational risk, less for personal gain than to sort of
course-correct reality, an act which this song seems to celebrate.”
The song is Tremaine’s
first truly collaborative ATTEMPT
piece on tape.
“It was built around my vocal harmonies,” he explains.
“(Drummer) Dave Farris supplied the
layers of Martin Denny (the “father
of exotica”) clatter, and Robert Beatty
(Tremaine’s co-Hair Police man) detonated the Lydian sinewave fireworks in the
coda. On the final version, I patched a take of the full-band live jam from
whence this melody sprung.”
“Against The Light,” the latest EP from ATTEMPT arrives on Oct. 27th
via Desperate Spirits. Trevor Tremaine is available for
interviews. Contact Josh Bloom
