Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating as a shadowy, conceptual electronic project, the collective assembled deeply unsettling and cryptic auditory experiments. 'A Thirsty Fish' manipulates distorted field recordings, spoken word fragments, and low-frequency drones into a surreal, electroacoustic soundscape. It remains a highly respected, genuinely frightening artifact of British industrial and dark ambient tape culture.
