Heres a few prestiduos comments from credible sorces..
regarding albumn discography
UNCUT ----: ‘Nothing prepares you for the standout track, “Jerusalem”, which provides the missing evolutionary link between Barry McGuire’s “Eve Of Destruction” and Nick Cave in best biblical
mode.’
David Keenan: ”his delivery is bible black, with bleak, hypnotic lyrics combining with children’s nursery

Harpoon Group (Robin from The Dead Rat Orchestra)
Harpoon Group is the alias of Dead Rat Orchestra member Robin Alderton, a sometime sound artist, musician, and fine artist who can be found surrounded by antiquated audio technology: dansettes spinning dubplates, reel to reel recorders flailing, clicking dictaphones, overdubbed cassettes and bust samplers. He creates shifting textural compositions out of field recordings, found sounds and the technology itself, considering the process a form of collage. His performances resonate with ideas of sound recording technology, nostalgia, memory and place - the processes of deterioration, and of the failure of (or grasp for) memory.
An evening to remember for a mere £6 otd or £5.50 from ENTS24
