Structure Moderne

GSTQ (God save the queen) infuses post-punk power into a trip-hop narrative.

Blend of Lady Chatterley's lover incipit and the British national anthem, the queen here is life itself, which claiming its rights bit by bit and gaining intensity.
Every element of the orchestration participates in emphasizing that message:
The mellotron is the tragedy, at the beginning, near the end, and never very far
The drums are the march of time that never stops
The rebounding bass line is all the forces at work to rebuild
The ethereal free jazz trumpet is the chaos that goes with the process

Achieve harmony and celebrate, that what GSTQ is about: we’ve got to live!
