Bloody-Disgusting has teamed up with Dutch alt-rock band De Staat to bring you the exclusive track premiere of “Sweatshop”, which comes from their upcoming EP Vinticious Versions. The track is a reimagined version of their original version, which was on their second album Machinery. The new version, for me, sounds like it was heavily inspired by Tom Waits, exuding that odd jazz feel, while also incorporating 60’s and 70’s psychedelia.
Frontman Torre Florim describes the EP:
We started to think of different versions to play. It’s way more fun when you go into a radio station with a little guitar amp and an organ and try to do something a little different. We’re not really a chord based band, so when you take a song to a small setting you have to be creative with it.
