March digital release on Cockaigne- How Long Does The Raunch? by Dave Graney and Clare moore

"Starts with jazz guitar chords and vocals. Then Drum Machine, Vibes, Marimba and electric guitar.
Over stimulation. Modern life is demanding. Filling a dude with images and feels, emotions dragged and pulled out, demanded.
Follow up to Be Sad For Me and coming from a similar direction. This time worrying about "normalization" of images of violence and sex and the immediate, thrilling power they have. How they are described as "raunchy". Kind of cute. Gaddafi on youtube getting hunted and hacked and kicked by a mob. Starving children in third world countries. Can you unsee such things? How long do "raunchy" things stay plain old raunchy? Do they get stale or do you? How long do they stay? Stay "raunchy"? What happens to you?What do you do with it? What does it do to you?"

 "For me the work of Dave Graney and Clare Moore is the musical equivalent of reading Samuel Beckett, Thomas Pynchon, John Cowper Powys etc - a lengthy note on this thinking will follow in the next few days - pending that here's some aural stimulation ----" Bob Osborne- Salford...

Dave Graney and Clare Moore - March digital release How Long Does The Raunch?

How Long Does The Raunch?

4:08
Starts with jazz guitar chords and vocals. Then Drum Machine, Vibes, Marimba and electric guitar. A whole lot of questions? How Long Does the Raunch Stop In One?

"Over stimulation. Modern life is demanding. Filling a dude with images and feels, emotions dragged and pulled out, demanded. Follow up to Be Sad For Me and coming from a similar direction. This time worrying about "normalization" of images of violence and sex and the immediate, thrilling power they have. How they are described as "raunchy". Kind of cute. Gaddafi on youtube getting hunted and hacked and kicked by a mob. Starving children in third world countries. Can you unsee such things? How long do "raunchy" things stay plain old raunchy? Do they get stale or do you? How long do they stay? Stay "raunchy"? What happens to you?What do you do with it? What does it do to you?"

This track shows how far Graney and Moore have taken their mad R&B licks. 

Certainly, few other Australian acts, whether their contemporaries or the generations following, are anywhere near this sort of territory. the command of the studio, the sounds, the chordings, voices and the lyrics and the whole character of the things they are creating. 
This is the thirteenth monthly digital release since February 2016.

There is a page devoted to the releases here. 

Dave Graney and Clare Moore will be going out on the road in March-April to play shows firstly with dave Graney and the Coral Snakes and then a run of shows as  a duo with Euro friends Georgio "the dove" Valentino and Patrizia F.

Georgio has a website here.

Dave Graney and Clare Moore February digital release - BE SAD FOR ME - live shows with Dave Graney 'n' the Coral Snakes

Be Sad For Me is the new digital release for Dave Graney and Clare Moore. The twelfth since February 2016.



Available at Bandcamp and at every other digital portal via this link.

BE SAD FOR ME is a 2:38  packet of sound. A rare breakthrough of the three minute barrier for Dave Graney. The writer and singer is asking the listener - or passerby- to feel sad INSTEAD OF HIM doing it. In his place. Not to be sad for the singer himself. He is "outsourcing his tears".

Be Sad For Me!
I’m outsourcing my tears
cryin’ it forward
Here’s a minor chord
strum it!
they will come
tears of a stadium
tears for streaming
here - have some of mine
help yourself!
you can cry for me
I’m all choked up
but I don’t have much time
Be sad For Me
I’ll owe you big time
Be Sad For Me!
I’m outsourcing my tears
