about

After the trilogy of 'white' albums comprising of 'Giant Concrete Skeleton' 'Shun Sine' and 'Where Me Lost No Found', here's the first of the 'black album' trilogy.

Once again this is a disorientating mixture of processed sound and autobiographical field recordings, a lot of it dating back ten years. But this time we're going into a dark and chaotic zone.

released February 12, 2020

The 'smoking' sample comes from the Andy Warhol film 'Bad'. Which I have never seen but I took from the awesome Cake & Polka Parade blog by Gregory Jacobsen back in the early 00s.

The field recording on Smoke King is men dismantling the covered market at King's Cross

Worth Repeating features my sister trying to get my niece to sleep over the baby intercom

Embryo Funk is sourced once again from Cake & Polka Parade, it was a found tape in a charity shop of sessions between a child and a speech therapist

Unlit Interval features Gillian being asked questions as she's sleeping

George Vs Gautier has recordings of said men (my current and past housemates) fighting over a washing machine

Trip Trap features the sublime purrs of my cat's mother

There's a Shadow on You Lad has a recording of myself walking home in the rain and then a truly delightful squeak by my cat Korg, when she was still a kitten, when I reached home.
