STATUE is a mysterious percussion-based structure erected by Tom Gould. With origins behind a drum kit laying down the foundations in cult Melbourne bands NO ZU and World’s End Press, STATUE has become an evolving stand-alone project. With three previous EP’s released on Fort Romeau’s ‘Cin Cin’ and Cut Copy’s ‘Cutters Records’ STATUE has become a peculiar shadow on the dance floor.

Bolting Bits are happy to premiere the title track “Solidify” today. Commissioned by Le Temps Perdu run by Lithuanian V, ‘Solidify’ delves further into the hypnotic percussive groove of STATUE. With its feet firmly fixed on the dance floor “Solidify” manages to cover a lot of ground. At first it will melt you and at the end of the 9 minute long hazy journey, you will start feeling rock-solid again.
With left of center remixes by Zombies in Miami and Christian S, this EP redefines the space, which STATUE occupies. Get your copy here.
