Having spent what seems like forever in our studio, meticulously placing beats, tuning analogue synths and rescuing long forgotten chord organs, we are ready to release our debut album: ‘Reset, Start Again’.

Allow us to introduce ourselves. We’re Talk, an eccentric mix of inclement electronica, post rock and ephemeral indie. Recluses by nature, we have on occasion been spotted venturing out from our studio, the lab. Primary reasons being to purchase more electricity to power our vast synth collection or, just as important, to play our material live.

Performing has taken us as far a-field as Holland where we represented Radio One at Eurosonic festival. This rewarding jaunt was the result of us winning the title of ‘best electronic fourpiece’ on the Huw Stephens show, also leading to us playing at In The City for the BBC. Subsequently we performed on Radio One with a live session, which received fantastic and encouraging feedback. We released ‘Bypass Control’ from the new album to critical acclaim from both national and regional press including ‘single of the week’ on Londons XFM and coverage on ITV.

You’ll hear a definite evolution to the Talk sound and progression of ideas on the new record. Don’t simply take our word for it though, take a look at a few of the exceptional words said about us in the press recently:

"A delicious slice of hypnotic electronica."
BBC Onemusic

"Post Millennial Radiohead, windswept moans, processed electronica, tricksy jazzoid time signatures and eruptive angry space-punk guitar"
UNCUT Magazine

"The Debut album by Talk is one of the most perfect albums to emerge in ages...and in terms of the indubitable quality of the songs, Reset Start Again is up there with the very best records."
Fact Magazine

"Album of the week"
Radio One - Huw Stephens

"Talk have achieved that rare thing of coupling experimentation with tunes. Byp/Ctrl is highly accessible to staunch indie-fans, whilst will also satisfy the minds of the arty electronica set. The EP see's rich sonic landscapes and hypnotic electro-beats over a back-drop of deep pulsing rhythms. Vocals and standard indie guitar styles are both violated and lovingly-massaged by dynamic instrumentations. The perfect balance between analogue and digital sounds."
National Student Magazine

"This is an excellent album that will hopefully have a big impact on future bands of various genres."
Penny Black Music - Reset Start Again Review

"The Shrewsbury five piece combine guitars and electronica in a mix that’s experimental but rooted in tradition. And it works. These sorts of crossovers run the risk of upsetting both the electronica and indie crowds; Talk have probably achieved the opposite effect of satisfying both camps."
Sounds XP - Reset Start Again Review

"With Oceansizes Epic melancholic soul laid bare melded to the dramatic intricacies of Sigor Ros and the intense bleakness of Radiohead at their emotive best. Its as if the back of my head has been opened like they do in Being John Malcovich, a little stairway erected and a huddle of slightly bald scientists have entered, teasing and tugging at my brain, prodding and pulling things they oughtn’t be prodding and pulling making my eyes swivel around in my head like bees in a jar - Genius!"
Subba Cultcha

"Talk are aural alchemists on a mission to fuse digitally refracted soundscapes with organic songwriting textures. 'Reset Start Again' is the result of a year's studio hibernation with the good news that they're pretty damn close to achieving their professed goal. Strident albeit glitched out indie rock with a beating heart? Mission accomplished."
Flux Magazine

"8 out of 10 - Reset Start Again"
Alternative Ulster Magazine

"10 out of 13 - Reset Start Again
This is a fine, fine album which takes you by surprise on more than a few occasions.
Not the head-fuck its first appears when the first modem signal blast of noise hits your delicate ears, 'RESET START AGAIN' is (how can I put this?), 'a journey into time and space', where benevolence and malevolence go hand in hand nicely. The twisted menace of the synths and the molested, distorted sounds of something or other mixed with something else, blissfully unite with a set of darkly sweet tunes and chords. This makes for uneasy but hugely enjoyable listening and leaves you wildly dizzy without the queasiness. Lush organs and pianos meet freaky processed beats and an almighty electric hullabaloo but never grate or clash for a second, or more importantly, give you that fake taste of 'media student assignment' in your mouth.
Soundscapes for people who hate the word soundscape. Nice"
Room 13

"A white hot distractive progressive art rock animal of sorts threaded and snared by a bleaching of abstract computer rhythms that craftily find themselves juxtaposing sublimely between the polarised paths of an edgy austere tensely tingling claustrophobia and a warmly honey combed harmony laced mellowness - quite disturbingly superb."

National Student Magazine

"6 out of 7 - Reset Start Again
Talk are already one of the finest ever acts to come from their part of the world!"
EvilSponge

"A five tracker of ethereal new age cosmic pop headed up by the airy Motion Sickness, a deceptive little chameleon that relaxes you with Simon & Garfunkel breathy 60s folk before the guitars start getting all worked up in a psychedelic riff lather and early Pink Floyd Ummagummaisms"
What's on

"Imagine Simon and Garfunkel being showered by an avalanche of Moogs…yes, that good!"
SoundsXP

"This should by rights do some serious damage to the repeat button on your cd player"
