Pipe-defy: Orange Vinyl LP
For the first time since 2021, Pipe-eye, the moniker for Australian musician, singer and songwriter Cook Craig, is set to release a brand new LP. Titled Pipe-defy, the album is slated for release on October 18th, with the lead single, "Lords Of Lithium," giving a first taste of what's to come.
With nods to the venerable influences of funk and 70s/80s synth dance classics, Pipe-defy is a stylistic departure from his previous albums. For this project, Craig explains wearing his influences on his sleeve; âAt around the time that I was starting to write songs for the album, my mum gave me a bunch of old CDs from my early teens that I hadnât listened to in ages. There was heaps of Grandmaster Flash, Herbie Hancock, Zapp, Stevie Wonder and other stuff like that. When I kept writing songs they kinda just started sounding like that⊠so I guess it kinda just kick started an old obsession I had for that style of music.â This is particularly evident as each track beckons listeners to lose themselves in a tapestry of mesmeric synth rhythms, sobering orchestra hits and foot tapping, knee slapping, hand clapping groove.
Pipe-defy stands as a testament to Craigâs resolve to explore new aesthetics with each new release, furthering his quest to push himself to into new song-writing terrain. "When I was writing the songs for the album, (which I had about 20 of), if I wasnât bopping my head subconsciously to it, then it was cut."
