http://www.yenmag.net/win/win-a-children-collide/ Win Children Collide’s ‘Theory Of Everything’Yen and Universal Music are giving ten lucky Yen readers the chance to win a copy of Children Collide’s second album, Theory Of Everything and a pack of tarot cards designed by Emily Hunt.
Following on from the success of The Long Now, Children Collide are back with their highly anticipated second studio album Theory of Everything.
Having recorded with legendary LA-based producer Rob Schnapf (The Vines, Elliot Smith, Beck) the boys were eager to achieve a unique sound, ‘a big tough drum sound and a big tough guitar sound’, according to front man Johnny Mackay.
The album pays tribute to Arthur Edward Waite’s The Pictorial Key To The Tarot with each song taking on a different Tarot card.
“We’ve had a little of that going on since we began writing songs,” explains vocalist and guitarist Johnny Mackay. “Alchemy and chemistry, reason and religion, love and logic. Art and music are so often about tying opposing forces together into a contentious dualism. Contradiction is a big part of what we do.”
Much like the tarot cards themselves, however, illumination is all in the eye – or, in this case, the ear – of the beholder. The best way to get your head around Theory Of Everything is to let it wash over you, and be content to revel in the divinatory power of music.
After all, you can’t always trust a fortune-teller to give you the straight story. “Once a gypsy came up to me and told me I was a part-wolf, part-hawk,” Mackay recalls. “Then she started stroking my hair saying I didn’t belong here and that my destiny lay in the mountains. I’m yet to understand what that meant, but I have a feeling it will all become clear the second I arrive at the astral milkhouse.”
