The Randal Gatz

"With spare, wandering instrumentals—mostly with keyboard, guitar, tape hiss and freaky half-voices in the background—Randal Gatz will most likely end up in the coolest band in the world. He just won't write their crossover pop hit. If you're a fan of John Cage or have recently been diagnosed with some sort of brain disorder, log your homemade computer onto his frequency."
