PRESCOTT Promo Video + Press
Check out some the press from the PRESCOTT - 'ONE DID' , aswell as Kev Hopper's hilarious promo video.
PRESS:
'…the wildly eccentric melodic and harmonic choices and snare-tight but restless compositional arrangements make this a remarkably confrontational and uncomfortable (albeit totally compelling) listen… As far as British-politician-themed art-rock bands go, Prescott are a unique and mischievous proposition…' [The List] Matt Evans
Prescott make music that is hilarious as it is infuriating. Hopper bouncing tang grabs hold of Byng's metronomic dub- funk rhythms, with Marsden adding tight slashes of discordant electric piano and crumpled clavichord scrunches… neatly positioning Prescott - and Slowfoot - in a fictional and slightly skewed parallel universe where wayward British eccentrics lurk at every turn. [The Wire] Daniel Spicer
"The real beauty of the material lies in the lithe and minimalist nature of group... ...More than all this, as the group’s first recording One Did serves to underline the true potency of the experimenting that’s key to the Prescott trio." [Sonic Router]
"...all three have fully succumbed to and are in thrall of th' groove - albeit a refreshingly inventive and unconventional one." [Terrascope]

During November 2005, Mark Beazley of Rothko joined Signals to play live as part of the on-going Evelyn Records evenings in London, cementing the core line-up.
