Skydaddy with a new 5 Track EP entitled Anchor Chains, Plane Motors and Train Whistles, via Bathtime Sounds.
The EP takes its title from George Baileyâs famous line in Itâs a Wonderful Life, where he names âthe three greatest sounds in the world.â These sounds, representing a belief in technological progress, echo throughout the EP as metaphors for the anxieties of modern life. London-born Lebanese/Grenadian artist Rachid Fakhre, performing as Skydaddy, channels this sentiment, blending nostalgia with modern disillusionment. Fakhre closes the EP with an audio sample from the film, emphasizing its emotional weight.
After the success of his debut mini-album Pilot, Fakhre recorded much of the EP at Church Studios with engineer Balasz Altsach, using a wide range of instruments, including grand piano, mellotron, harp, and choir. While promoting Pilot in LA, he recorded âAllicin,â a love song inspired by Jessica Pratt and the compound found in garlic.
Lyrically, the EP addresses themes of alienation and urban anxiety. âAge of Empiresâ reflects on existential dread, while âAlbert Bridgeâ critiques the bleak cityscape with a sinister bossa nova backdrop. âMushrooms,â inspired by the 2020 Beirut explosion, combines exuberance with terror, layering dark synths and choral screams. The EP serves as a reflection on both personal and societal fears, grounded in Fakhreâs distinct sound.
George Baileyâs words ironically echo over the EPâs closing reprise - the singular moment of intimate, unpolished bedroom exotica. An examination of modern London, the EP also serves as a timestamp of its current scene, replete with choral contributions from Fakhreâs favourites such as Black Country, New Road, Ugly, Tapir!, Ethan P Flynn, heka, Silver Gore as well as Aga Ujma on harp.
