Courtesy of Greenland and producer Opeamp, here’s a nice piece of glitchy, industrial techno that inhabits some nice dark and dubbed out soundscapes. Think a less gauzy and smeared Burial and reminiscent of some of Photek’s work. Continue reading NEW MUSIC: Opeamp – Swarm
Farmertan might be a new name to our readers but they’ve been treading the boards since the early 90s, working away at their rootsy, indie rock n roll sound.
