Vacuum Spasm Babies

About Me

Vacuum Spasm Babies are a couple of like-minded blood-relatives with a love of guerilla recording, shouting and recorders. Malcolm Spasm (notoriously unemployable) fiddles with computer innards in his plush apartment on the edges of a rough Edinburgh housing scheme, where he hopes that one day his experiments will lead to the perfect wrong sound. Charles S. Bravo lives in a hammock in the Scottish Borders. He likes to watch the grass grow until the gin haze becomes too thick, then he writes songs.

The Thin Man EP gathers together four songs from Vacuum Spasm Babies' forthcoming album, Whipping Clowns.
