Joe Dilworth: Everything, All At Once Forever

I played drums with Th' Faith Healers from 1988-94 and it taught me how to unlearn the 80's. The stranglehold that aspirational culture had on the UK become really stale by then, and there wasn't even the money to prop it up. It was a very claustrophobic time, I took a lot of pictures of my friends at home, because there wasn't anywhere else to go, social life was dropping round for tea. I'd lost touch with current music, I was playing drums with a rather loose jazz outfit, and listening to Krautrock. It's hard to convey just how few distractions there were. So I hadn't really been paying attention, but it seemed something different was going on. Not in terms of a particular sound, but an anti-careerist denial of present, future, time itself. A turn inwards, externalised, very loudly, to each other. - Joe Dilworth
