Out of the unassuming Welsh town of Wrexham, Gallops re-emerge having expanded their tight, punchy math-rock constructions into something of a more panoramic scope for debut LP Yours Sincerely, Dr. Hardcore. A group who take all you know about the more technical, leftfield strands of the musical periphery and turn them inside out, they express a joy in the freedom of being able to jump between time signatures and textures, rather than treating such dexterity as a po-faced exercise in instrument proficiency.
Gallops first streaked into view in 2010 with a self-titled EP, following that up with Record Store Day release ‘Joust/Eukodol’. Even between those two releases the group’s thirst for progression was evident, but so too was their desire for fun whilst doing it, tracks bouncing round with the giddiness of a pinball in a machine. That infectious energy was seized upon by many, leading to performances at 2011’s SXSW conference and also a recent tour of China. Now in 2012, and with their debut album ready, the band’s guitarist Mark Huckridge thinks that the group’s creative forward momentum is showing no signs of slowing; “We’ve really opened up a bit more and found our sound now” he enthuses, “the compositions are less linear and feel a bit more free.”
