ELASTICA STUTTER TO A HALT
ELASTICA STUTTER TO A HALT
JUSTINE FRISCHMANN has exclusively revealed to NME.COM
the news which everyone was expecting - ELASTICA have
split up.
Just days after Catatonia called it a day following
disappointing album sales, the Elastica singer/guitarist
revealed that her once popular band have also split.
Their demise had long been rumoured.
Elastica have been quiet for the past 12 months and music
industry gossip suggested they had split. But there was
never any official confirmation, and the band were well
known for long periods of inactivity. Their second album
'The Menace' came out last year, five years after their
eponymous debut. In January, Frischmann told NME that the
band were planning to decamp to New York to write new
material. But it is now clear the post-'Menace' sessions
were not a success.
Justine Frischmann told NME.COM: "Yes, we have split up.
It's actually not official yet. We've got a Peel Sessions
album coming out and we've got a farewell single coming
out. I'm actually hugely relieved, to be honest. I'm
feeling much happier. I don't want to say I've got other
projects, because it's such a cliche, but I have. It will
be music, I'm not suddenly going to have an acting career."
Elastica's debut album went to Number One in March 1995.
At the time, Frischmann was living with Damon Albarn and
the couple were regularly featured in the tabloid press.
But when 'The Menace' was released last year it failed to
even reach the Top Ten, while single releases also failed
to make the Top 40.
'The Radio 1 Sessions' is released through Strange Fruit
on October 29. The release of a final Elastica single is
yet to be confirmed and the band do not even have a record
deal as their label, Deceptive, ceased trading earlier
this year.
Frischmann has already collaborated with British Meat Scene
on 'Too Old To Die Young' for the soundtrack of the new
British film, 'Mike Bassett: England Manager'. "British
Meat Scene are putting it out as a single," she confirmed.
