about

I'm psyched to finally, finally put this one out for ace Sheffield duo, Garlic Hug, who bless us here with a series of radical collisions of skronky sax skronkness, skewed synth tones and disjointed rhythms, with a side serving of text-to-speech mayhem.

This one's noisy and nasty, but also with an occasionally outright bonkers sense of fun and play.

It's a masterfully crafted suite with artful use of space and it is absolutely worthy of stretching your utterly knackered attention span to glean some higher, energised state from.>>>

"'the truth about carbs' journeys from stop-start rhythm games to garlic drones, to hiccuping beats and synth-sax skronk, rounded off with a text-to-speech apocalypse.

Drawing from a playground of different instruments, the EP ping-pongs between improvisations with found recordings, wonky instrumental duos & ritualistic coding psalms." (GARLIC HUG)
