Video Announcement: The Year of the Ratbags and Their Musty Theme Songs
Troy Kingi announces his sixth album, An 80's Synth Pop instalment, in his 1O 1O 1O Series, (10 albums in 10 years in 10 genres).
The Year of the Ratbags and Their Musty Theme Songs, finds Troy Jumping in the Delorian and taking us back to 84, the year of his birth.
Inspired by television theme songs and the superstars of the period such as Prince & Talking Heads, even the radio friendly sound of bands such as Tears for Fears, The Human League and Duran Duran ….. Troy’s main goal with ‘Ratbags’ was to hit a nostalgic nerve for those belonging to the era and for those who are true aficionados of 80's pop culture.
An album drenched in synths and bad hair - Each engineering technique, amplifier, instrument used to create it was sourced solely from the period, leaving no stone unturned in the quest for authenticity in one of history’s most colourful musical eras.
There is a hidden underlying theme that intertwines each song, connecting them all through one common thread - Troy has chosen to withhold this information leaving the albums meaning up to the ear of the beholder, although he did say, if you look close enough the clues are in plain sight.
First single from the album will be released on September 23rd
The Year of the Ratbags and Their Musty Theme Songs - Out October 7th - Cassette/ LP through Border and available on all digital platforms.
