In 2019, what started out as a small side-project put together by superstar drummer Rat Scabies and acclaimed Flipron\/Neville Staple guitarist Billy Shinbone quickly morphed into a world of psychedelic, gurgly, electronic soundtracks for their first and critically acclaimed 2020 debut album Sparkle<\/em>. Now The Sinclairs are readying their second album, The Long Slow Death Of A Cigarette<\/em>, which finds them breaking out even further, adding guest vocalists to a mix of skittery garage rock, arctic ambience, fuzzy orchestral pop, the odd dusty torch song plus an undulating Latin funeral coda. If the first album \u201cmade easy listening more difficult\u201d then this new album is \u201ctechnicolor noir.\u201d

\u201cWe decided that we wanted some actual songs on this record,\u201d says Scabies. \u201cAnd we hit gold with our guest artists,\u201d including Zumi Rosow of Black Lips, Kid Congo Powers of The Cramps\/Gun Club\/The Bad Seeds, Roger Chapman of iconic \u201860s band Family, and members of Japanese garage punk treasures The 5,6,7,8\u2019s plus British actor Kevin Eldon (Hot Fuzz\/Game Of Thrones)! \u201cWe wanted each track to be like a deep, smokey draw that burns off the one that comes before it. Sometimes smouldering, sometimes incandescent, and what you\u2019re left with at the end is a funeral.\u201d 

For a taste of what\u2019s in store, the band is releasing the album\u2019s first single, a ripping surf-rock-esque instrumental \u201cUltra Splendid,\u201d which the band declares, \u201ccrams masses of splendidness into a super short package of energy. All the good stuff in less than two minutes flat!\u201d The hilarious performance video that accompanies the single is likewise a \u201ccheerful revenge on the drunken, self-absorbed arseholes who crash the stages in pubs and clubs across the land\u201d and guest stars Kevin Eldon as the continually thwarted vocalist.
