In April last year, Jem started a new project on which he invited his friends from the various projects he plays for to contribute and do the things they do on top of the music he wrote. This is a twelve-track collection and “Slow Drive In A Fast Machine” is the tenth. The track was written by Jem Doulton himself and Luke Barlow and besides Jem (drums) and Luke (saxophone) it has the participation of Tom Relleen (bass) and Sam Ayres (guitar).
So, it is known that Jem Doulton’s name is attached to the psyche-rock scene of London. And listening to “Slow Drive In A Fast Machine” is diving in a kind of cosmic world on which psychedelia, vivid colors and slow-motion movements meet all together. Balearic guitar chords, metallic percussions, groovy bass, extended vocals that align with the cool sax, all working together for the perfect acid trip. Imagine Woody Harrelson and Juliette Lewis’ “Natural Born Killers” characters driving on their convertible car in a sunny warm desert in slow motion: that’s it!
