Like A Sturgeon

Think I mentioned on this blog somewhere at some self-indulgent stage that I released an album through Auricular Records in the US last month, and for once under my real name instead of hiding behind an alias.

Anyway, just for another free plug it's called Hackneyed Record Crate (thanks yet again to the people at Auricular for supporting these kinds of disparate, inadvertently eclectic sounds!) and today I got motivated enough to pull the finger out and hack together a video clip to go with one of the tracks, 'Like A Sturgeon', which I did a while back in collaboration with American noise guru (and a mate of mine) Noisepsalm.

Hackneyed Record Crate

Well, I have a brand new album out but some of it is not so new at all, while other bits are recent ploddings; basically it's a collection of personal eclectic nuggets that scrape around electronica, sampling, industrial moments, and whatever else I could throw into the mix.

The LP is titled Hackneyed Record Crate and it's my third release through US experimental label Auricular Records.

Here's what Auricular themselves have to say about the release - probably better than anything I'd try to conjure up here:

"Point the remote control at the Andrez Bergen digital Victrola of doom and scan the airwaves of all time and space and join us for the last waltz of the mechanodroids on the event horizon of the Slash Cut and Loop universe. Or sip a cup of tea and sing along quietly to yourself with the curtains drawn. All samples have been sanitized for your protection."


Anyway, there're 16 tracks all up and you can listen to sample sounds of these right HERE if you're still somehow inspired to do so.
