The Rhythm Method

The Rhythm Method's second album 'Peachy', coming March 8th on Moshi Moshi Records.

Publications such as The Guardian, Dazed, Dork, i-D, Loud + Quiet all championed the band early on - comparing them to artists like Pet Shop Boys and Squeeze. The Rhythm Method now return with a vastly different sound, and in their words a "cohesive masterpiece". The new album, produced by Bill Ryder-Jones and featuring Aoife Power of whenyoung, is the first time they have recorded music in a proper studio, and is influenced by a "desire to live up to one’s potential, making sure there’s no regrets on the deathbed" The Rhythm Method have been hailed by everyone from Mike Skinner to Michaela Coel.

A self-declared "proper second album" - the songs that comprise Peachy are born of candour and from the emotional rollercoaster that is touring. Influences on the new sound will surprise confirmed fans; ranging from The Band and Kris Kristofferson to The Waterboys and Deacon Blue - it is a marked departure from their beginnings.

The band's debut album 'How Would You Know I Was Lonely?' left an indelible mark on the UK independent scene and their influence can be traced across London. With their beginnings in a Thameside squat protection scheme intended for professionals but inhabited by the barely-employed back in 2016, the duo turned a summer of FIFA tournaments, cosmic breakdowns and 4pm beers into a series of bizarre, outsider-music iPhone demos that became a SoundCloud account, then a band, then a live show and an album.

Traditional Irish and Scottish music also play a huge part on this record: Aoife Power lending a Cranberries-esque Celtic warmth to a collection of poignant, thoughtful and at times moving songs that will dramatically switch perceptions of this duo.
