Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following the dissolution of Swell Maps, bassist Jowe Head embarked on an eccentric, highly experimental solo career. 'Pincer Movement' embraces chaotic lo-fi production, utilizing kitchen utensils, tape manipulation, and off-kilter post-punk arrangements to craft a uniquely playful and dissonant avant-garage aesthetic.
