Artist Quote
“Gnossienne No. 1 (I Can’t Get No)” is an instrumental classic already. Old-school to say the least. It was written by Erik Satie around 1890 and it’s a beautiful yearning and sorrowful study in melancholy that has entered the pantheon of great suicide music. Max, the son of TBG bassist Per Sunding, suggested that the band cover it for the forthcoming LP β and they accepted the challenge. This fresh new β but hardly modern β version turns Satie’s masterpiece into a faster paced spy surf tune with added spinet delivering notes of John Barry’s great movie themes. The “Gnoss” just got a license to thrill, chill AND kill. ~Yebo
