james works Love the theme of signal intrusions as well as subtle narrative elements like these incorporated into music, plus I'm a sucker for all things hypnogogic + plunderphonic drone, so this was made for me—I would hijack a radio station to get a cassette copy.

Steve Barsotti Amazing collection of drones and voices and emotion. Great Throbbing Gristle flavors, lots of wonderful stuff to chew on and listen to. Lovely

about

"Surreal soundscapes that tell an eerie story."
Bandcamp New and Notable (Oct 2022)

“A Strange Garbed Figure to the Right of Clearing” is a homage to late-night paranormal radio shows in Hong Kong. The EP is intended to be listened to as a whole and its tracks are interwoven with mysterious investigative segments in Cantonese. Each track is an auditory study into bizarre crimes and phenomena that occurred in the city.

Fuzzy harsh drones, granulated dialogue, pitched down polyrhythmic percussion, transporting the listener into the unknown, until the show disintegrates and is finally possessed by a spectral entity...
