Pipe-eye Pipe-defy Limited Vinyl LP

Overview:

For the first time since 2021, Pipe-eye, the moniker for Australian musician, singer and songwriter Cook Craig, releases a brand new LP. With nods to the venerable influences of funk and '70s/'80s synth dance classics, Pipe-defy is a stylistic departure from his previous albums. For this project, Craig explains wearing his influences on his sleeve; 'At around the time that I was starting to write songs for the album, my mum gave me a bunch of old CDs from my early teens that I hadn't listened to in ages. There was heaps of Grandmaster Flash, Herbie Hancock, Zapp, Stevie Wonder and other stuff like that. When I kept writing songs they kinda just started sounding like that... so I guess it kinda just kick started an old obsession I had for that style of music'. This is particularly evident as each track beckons listeners to lose themselves in a tapestry of mesmeric synth rhythms, sobering orchestra hits and foot tapping, knee slapping, hand clapping groove.
