The initial vinyl pressing is pink and black splatter, with download card, and limited to 300.
The debut album of Berlin’s finest two-thirds Welsh, one-third Danish instrumental psych-disco trio, out Aug 30th 2024. Imagine Jaki, JJ and Jarre*** locked in a room together, with a memo from John Carpenter that reads “Goblin + Shellac = ?”. Something like that. Raw drums, bass, vintage organs and synths are utilised to brutal effect via 7 epic songs that deliver krautrock disco disquietude, oscillating horror soundtracks and beyond. Or, as the band themselves insist: “the Nicki Minaj of dungeon synth”.
The band name, according to Anthony Burgess, is the Greek classifying nomenclature for man: aka The Talking Animal.
Zammit A.D. – drums, organs, synths. TNT Taylor – 4-string electric bass. Fred Alert – Moog, Dominion, percussions
featuring guest vocals from Gemma Ray. Recorded and mixed by Ingo Krauss (Swans, Einsturzende Neubauten) at Candy Bomber, Berlin.
