about

Human Rain Delay is an EP consisting of reworked versions of songs recorded at various points over the last ten years or so that never found their way onto a record. If that makes them sound like sweepings from the cutting room floor then, well, there's probably some truth in that. But having gone back to them I think they're worth putting out into the world anyway. Hopefully you'll agree. On Repeat has been sat on my phone as a rough demo for years. I'm fond of it, but it never seemed to quite fit with previous collections of tunes. The Final Hit is a tune originally intended for the album Out Beyond the Radar that I never got around to finishing until now. One Twenty Four is new and was originally going to be on a new album called Free the Night. Human Rain Delay is a song I recorded 10 years ago and if you dig around in the Victory Kicks back catalogue on Bandcamp you can still find that version. This one isn't much different, but it does have a backing vocal cameo from my sister which we recorded in about 5 minutes whilst working on a song by The Young Flood called Jefferson’s Party. And for anyone wondering, Human Rain Delay is one of the many phrases from baseball glossary that I'll end up stealing for a song title. It was coined for former Cleveland Guardian's first baseman Mike Hargrove, each of whose plate appearances took roughly the length of time it will take you to listen to these four songs.
