Cleptoclectics – Open Tuned Occidentals 3” CDR (HellosQuarerecordings)

Cleptoclectics – Open Tuned Occidentals

I've always been a sucker for desirable formats, so when this 3" CDR with hand printed inserts all housed in a hand stitched red felt sleeve landed on my desk, it instantly appealed to my curiosity.

This is Cleptoclectics second release, the first being for Feral Media. HellosQuarerecordings obviously have an ear for the original and unusual, based in the ACT, they wasted no time releasing this EP of oddities from this experimental Sydney band.

Sounds abound from found junk yard textures and tones, manipulated beyond recognition, passed through the machines to produce as the title evokes, Open Tuned Occidentals. The sound is intricately weaved around their take on the boom bap sound of modern beat production, with flourishes of live sounding drum rolls and fills, never over shadowing the tightly edited electronic malaise.

A nice little EP of frenetic yet humourous and playful electronic experiments. Track it down here www.hellosquarerecordings.com.
