Tribes Of Europe

Tribes Of Europe & Barbara Stretch share animated video of a dark Soviet propaganda film by Vladimir Tarasov from the late 70's for latest single Fight Fire With Fire? released via Integrity Records.

For latest single ‘Fight Fire With Fire?’, Tribes of Europe, the alter ego of Fenland-based multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Martin Elsey, are joined by Andy Gangadeen (Massive Attack, Chase & Status) on drums, Phil Cambridge (Kensington Symphony Orchestra) on trombone & trumpet, and Chris Taylor (Poison Girls, TheBays) on bass and co-production duties.

Alongside the classic soulful vocals of Barbara Stretch, former frontwoman of Pye Records’ soul sensations The Vernons, and the Ely Fallen Angels Choir led by CREEPY NEIGHBOUR’s Max Taylor which layers joyous harmonies to the building of the 60’s style space pop stomper with a strong political undertones.

Commenting on the thinking behind the latest single Martin explains: “The motivation for the song was the creeping fear watching democracy across the world get more and more squeezed and ‘played’ as we get further into the 21st Century. Populists, oligarchs, autocrats... all seem to feel like their moment has arrived. Sooner or later each individual has to decide how they’re going to respond to that.”

Released via Integrity Records on all digital platforms and limited edition, hand numbered 7” lathe-cut black vinyl order here.
