Grumbling Fur - Protogensis
UK underground pair transmit pulsing, psychedelic atmospherics. Heads rejoice!
Daniel O'Sullivan and Alexander Tucker - aka underground duo Grumbling Fur - have been working together since 2011, steadily weaving together a vast array of influences (Aphex Twin, Vangelis, This Heat, solo McCartney, ice cream vans, kettles boiling), culminating in the release of their excellent new album of mantric avant-pop, Glynnaestra. Described in MOJO 238 as "pop music as strange liturgy, where ice-cream van carillons and a replicant's last words are transformed by Tucker and O' Sullivan's mournful vocal accord into pagan Depeche Mode pop", the record will delight psych, electro and prog-heads alike.
