London's Man/Woman/Chainsaw have a specific sound that doesn't quite sound like anyone else. Their latest single, "Grow a Tongue in Time," has a very theatrical element, almost like it could belong in a musical. It's heavy on vocals and piano, but also has a noise rock element hiding behind it. It's filled with traditional string instruments while building a tension with electric feedback that never quite ends in the explosion you're expecting. The closest comparison I could make for "Grow a Tongue in Time" would be Bjork meets The Last Dinner Party, but Man/Woman/Chainsaw truly have their own thing going on.
Man/Woman/Chainsaw says of their latest single:
"[Grow A Tongue In Time] is a stream-of-consciousness look at jealousy, desire and self-pity. This began with a very stripped back arrangement on just bass, which gradually grew as we added different elements, from droning violin to creaking bowed guitar. Although It’s a moment of calm in the chaos of the set, the song builds its own intensity without relying on aggression."
