‘Six Miles’ sounds like a classic road movie. Like Vanishing Point, the main character dealing with the spirit of his soul and the sounds in his head. Kowalski, guided by Supersoul: The last American hero, the electric centaur, the demi god, the super driver of the golden west. Two nasty Nazi cars are close behind the beautiful lone driver, the police number are getting closer, closer, closer to our soul hero, in his soul mobile. Yeah baby, they’re about to strike, they’re gonna get him, smash him. Rape the last beautiful free soul on this planet…

In the next few days ‘Six Miles’ will be available for a short time as a free download from The Sables’ website, prior to being released as a limited edition single. In the coming months the track will also feature on the band’s new eagerly anticipated long-player – short wave story.

The Sables on ‘Six Miles’…

Turn the key and the machine starts to breath, familiar air hermetically sealed nothing and no one can touch you here. The windscreen is like a projector – all wide screen movie dream – forever changing, no fixed plot, yours for the making, a million extras with no directors all begging [with no need] to know the endings. On your journey you have seen the full moon, new moon, waxing waning and crescent moon – the bad blue howling moon. You have seen the sunrise ignite the day burn a trail and then burn away, arc and equinox, shepherds sun and sailors sun, lonely hazy lazy sun, you don’t know what your chasing or what your running from. You can go anyplace, anywhere from here, all junctions, connections, arteries, all veins feeding into a body that will not see, won’t bleed, that doesn’t know or doesn’t care if you were even here. What’s stopping me ma,’ I cannot engage, submerge, engulf or fully become, carbon, atom or other forms, are we still driving are we still movin are we getting further or are we returning. Love to everyone on the road hold what you love and hold it close. Made with one part gumbo and two part go go…
