Band Members: Bob Constant - vocals and things, Samuel Wicker - guitar and things, Gabriel Bash - hitting things... and things.
Influences: Tom Waits, Animal Collective, Nina Simone, Buck 65, Rufus Wainwright, DJ Shadow, Why?, Danyel Waro, Mike Ladd etc etc... Also: Bob Constant is now litening very carefully to the muffled noises his neighbours make; to the way his house creaks speak and to the sound of the sea in a cupped hand.... Samuel Wicker is currently listening intensely to Why?'s new album, "Alopecia." It's fantastic. Also loving Toumani Diabete's Mande Variations. And I just saw No Age for the first time recently and they were AMAZING! ...Gabriel Bash is all about The Dodos...he also has the Why? bug and has just discovered the wonderful electronic world of Moodgadget records...oh, recently saw Sunset Rubdown and was deeply impressed!
Sounds Like: Getting a hug from your strange friend, Albert."What really smacked me between the eyes was the resemblance, or should I say affinity, with the avant-garde music of yesteryear in the form of Captain Beefheart and Pere Ubu. This is seriously good stuff in my book and well removed from what anyone else seems to be doing here in the UK". Timbre Obscura.See Bob's home videos...
