SINGLE PREMIERE: Imperial Broads - 'Control'

Sydney noise-pop trio Imperial Broads have shared their brand new track Control today. A new wave punk inspired jam, band member Lauren Crew says the track was a massive team effort.

"I was on a Patti Smith and Joy Division bender when I wrote this song and both artists definitely influenced aspects of the arrangement and melodies," she explains.

"We entered the studio with the aim of finding a disorienting guitar tone to set the atmosphere for this song against that militant tight drum track. I felt like we nailed it with Liam (Judson - producer) managing to get this wobbly tape sound that is quite unnerving and made for a tricky but satisfying guitar session."

Crew also explains that fellow bandmates Pip Smith and Eve Lande were at the forefront of the sound, adding, "Pip and Eve really came to the party with their guitar parts for the nightclub explosion breakdown in the middle and once I got the vocal take right - third time’s the charm - this song came together for us."
