Utopia Development Corporation Introduces Noise Rock-Influenced “Art Deco Tesco”

Northampton, UK- business park based Post-Punk quartet Utopia Development Corporation have released the third track from their forthcoming debut EP, Industrial Area Swimming Centre, titled “Art Deco Tesco.”

“Art Deco Tesco” is more influenced by the band’s love of Noise music than previous offerings. The track takes heavy inspiration from Northampton bands 72% and No Music, Ireland’s Nakeds Lungs & Chalk and Rhode Island’s Nick Sadle.

Lyrically, the song focuses on “the economics of drug usage, 1930’s architecture and corporate takeovers of historic buildings.” Recorded analog to create a natural double tracked effect, what we actually hear is almost entirely a single guitar, bass, drums, and shouting, making for a raw sounding piece.

As with the other tracks for this EP, “Art Deco Tesco” was recorded at The Lodge Studio in Northampton with engineering and mixing duties falling upon long term collaborator, and occasional UDC photographer, Rufus Fox and with mastering provided by Stephen Kerrison.
