About Half Cousin \nThe Orkney Islands, off the north-eastern tip of Scotland, had never been known for their distorted junkyard pop. Not until the debut album by Half Cousin,"The Function Room", appeared in 2004, inspired by the islands' weather-beaten landscapes and off-beat characters. \n\n\nSought after singles "Half Turn\u002FMrs Pilling","Country Cassette" and "The Diary Fire EP" paved the way for acclaimed shows, supporting the likes of Hot Chip, The Earlies and Boom Bip. Collaborations, also, with Hans-Joachim Roedelius and contributions to the Blank Tape Spillage Fete, all cemented Half Cousin's reputation as something fresh and exciting. \n\nMain songwriter Kevin Cormack has teamed up once again with old Orcadian school friend Jimmy Hogarth to record "Iodine"- the follow up to "The Function Room". \nAs before, junk percussion, cheap electronics and family heirlooms prevail- but the results are far more beguiling, detailed and, at times, euphoric.\n\nThe subject matter of small town Orcadian characters is also more elaborate: Irish Country groupies, Rat Pack Dads, crofters on the run from the police and teenage pyromaniacs inhabit songs about chip shop photography, Alzheimer's, social club show business, absentees and mistaken identities.\n\nCormack's twisting melodies lead the way, giving momentum and focus to the driving ragbag collection of customized sounds. Hints of Captain Beefheart, Arab Strap and even early House music emerge, but always as part of something uniquely it's own.\n\nEssentially, it all still adheres to his original aim of creating "short, melodic songs made from junk."
