THE DATE OF THE PRIVATE VIEW IS TO BE CONFIRMED. ALBUMS AND SINGLES WILL ALSO BE ON SALE. ************************************************************ **BENJAMIN PROSSER & THE TAP COLLECTIVE 'KILLING FLAW'/'BELOW THE PLOUGH' SINGLE FITZROVIAN PHONOGRAPHIC Recalling the 13th Floor elevators, the litter and the rhythms of bo diddley this single, the debut release from Fitzrovian Phonographic sees Benjamin move from cassette recorder to analogue studio, recorded live in one take, fender twin feeding back, tremolo stuttering Benjamin hollers and screams until he can't anymore. The flip offers the opposite, a narcoleptic solo blues recalling ali farke toure's reverb drenched hypnotics.************************************************** ************
