Spurring forward a change in direction which is both new and familiar,
One Unique Signal will finish out 2007 by committing to tape their very latest sonic emissions which will show the band returning to their slow-burning drone rock roots, while still utilising the grinding repetition for which they made their name as a formidable live outfit.
The story begins in 2000 with the name
Windomn Chikkarah, Tremolo for drums and feedback filling the void of lead guitar made absent. Referencing late 80’s British guitar bands like
The Telescopes,
Spacemen 3,
MBV &
Loop, the concept evolved to offer an alternative to the
burgeoning
Post / Math Rock scene.
The tremolo’s were in turn replaced by drums with the arrival of Lee Barber who stepped up with balls to introduce Vocals to the sound which, in itself had become more structured, edging away from drones and ambience and encompassing a more repetitious bass driven feel.
It was during this time that
One Unique Signal found their feet as a live outfit, as
Drowned in Sound put it back in 2005; “
One Unique Signal
play with the ferocious detachment of men so far gone in possession that everything else has become irrelevant.�
The release of
Lowry in August 2003 began a relationship between
Genepool Records and
One Unique Signal which led to the release of a full length album almost four years later.
Tribe, Castle and Nation was plagued with mixing problems and survived two major hard drive crashes, but by the time of its release, two of the band members (Ed Harding & Lee Barber) had decided to call it quits.
