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
“A shockingly approachable and bare bit of psych pop.”
— MAGNET

“Against The Light” (Desperate
Spirits, Out Now) is the new
four-song EP from ATTEMPT, the
Lexington, Kentucky-based recording project of Trevor Tremaine, best-known as the drummer of the enduring noise
band Hair Police.
Fellow Hair
Police member, Robert Beatty is
also a successful visual artist who has created cover art for performers such
as Kesha, Tame Impala, Flaming Lips,
Ariel Pink, and more. Beatty and his work were the subjects
of a profile
by Vice earlier this year, and most
recently, Beatty was
named to Rolling Stone’s “Hot List.”
Beatty’s work also extends to the world of music videos with his piece for the title
track of the new ATTEMPT
release. Watch the video for “Against
The Light” via MXDWN’s premiere
coverage here.
The clip is a truncated version of the nearly
10-minute long track, about which Tremaine
says, “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 Beatty 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 is out now via Desperate Spirits. Trevor Tremaine is available for
