about

Currently in the process of recording their third album, after their acclaimed 2015 debut Hi-Fi Classics (having opted out of recording a second record to avoid the dreaded ‘difficult second album’ syndrome), ‘Brother’ is a continuation of the engrossing, yet unpredictable and hard-to-pin-down intelligence of the South London band’s output.

Speaking on the single, Meatraffle say:

“Brother is about the platonic love you have with your friends (sex is forbidden). It's about sharing and having things in common. The ups and downs, of course - about who buys more rounds of drinks than the others. It's a dry orgy, that's all it is.”

The origins of the band are lost in obscurity and legend, with some believing they are the result of a drunken afternoon shared by Mutado Pintado (Warmduscher, Paranoid London) and Zsa Zsa Sapien in a Wetherspoon pub, with their original concept being to actually host a Meat Raffle; evidence found in the fact that pigs’ heads and raffle tickets are visible in early photos of the band.

Raffle or not, the band kept the moniker, and their musical offerings since that fateful meeting have spawned a loyal fan base following - birthed from their raucous early residencies at Brixton’s The Windmill and The Queen’s Head.

A typical musician's nest of thoughts filter through dust speakers... the surface of a friend... this high book a friend laid on me... on the couch relaxing in the corner behind a still life pond with plenty of bugs and lily pads slurred in mud banks and boulders, tin cans and raisins warped by thought. Strain on the spoon like a wheat check - check Bif - cotton popping out of his sleeve... Poop hatch open - big poop hatch with a cotton hatch now the sun can burn you but... yellowcakeuf6
