There’s not just a brutalism about Cumbernauld, the Scottish “new town” in North Lanarkshire, developed ostensibly to catch the population overspill from neighbouring Glasgow in the 1950’s but also a melancholy, almost tangible banalism. According to brothers Phillip and Peter Walker, collectively operating under the moniker of P60, the lack of any discernible activity, cultural or otherwise, has resulted in a “blank society” which practically revels in its stagnance. “If you Google images on Cumbernauld,” <\/em>says Phillip, “you’ll notice a distinct dearth of people in the photos. Everyone just stays at home watching tv.”<\/em> But look very closely and you’ll notice that something is happening behind the concrete and steel facade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe got into this by default,<\/em>” says Peter. \u201cOur uncle Jim, died about 5 years ago and they found all these old synths and stuff in his attic which obviously, he\u2019d never used. Some of them were wrapped up in bin liners and bits of carpet so the rain wouldn\u2019t get at them. Nobody wanted them so at first I thought let’s just stick them on eBay or something.”<\/em> Phillip, however, had other ideas. \u201cI used to be in a band (the equally reclusive Glasgow post-punk outfit, Knives Replace Air) which was all guitars but I knew we could do something if we applied ourselves. It\u2019s taken 2 years to actually start making tunes we\u2019re happy with. Before, it was just press a key, twist some knobs and see what comes out. We\u2019re still not exactly Depeche Mode.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
