“Third War” by TERRY

"Third War" by Terry is Northern Transmissions' 'Song of the Day.'

Divide Terry into four and you get Al Montfort (UV Race, Total Control, Dick Diver etc.), Amy Hill (Constant Mongrel, School Of Radiant Living), Xanthe Waite (Mick Harvey Band) and Zephyr Pavey (Eastlink, Total Control, Russell Street Bombings).

Inevitably, Terry likes to make a noise. Drums, guitars and all his voices come into play, making a solid raft for Terry’s melancholic musings to navigate the languid rapids. This all unravels at its own pace, conducting a conversation with the commonplace. Terry HQ is the band’s debut album on Upset The Rhythm following their two successful 7″ singles released last year.

He’s on the train. Terry saw the light, and he put on his sunhat.
Ring Ring…
‘If you’re carsick, get outta the car!’
There’s only room for one big pug in this doggy daycare.
Terry’s taken to the night.
Thank you nurse, I’ll see myself out.

LOOK! There he is, peeping through the cracks in your screen.
Nuanced. Mercurial. Free.
Blowing you a kiss.

Marcel Marceau, Shmarshel Shmarsheau!
But Terry…. How unforgettable.

What will you do when the cloud gives way?
When the map leads you to a pile of potatoes?
We wuz wrong.
Hit me with your algorithm stick!

Siri, is death an illusion?
Siri, am I locked in a prison of my own making?
Don’t pull that thread kiddo.
Siri’s gone. Talk about truth!

But when you’re ready for real answers…
Talk about TERRY
