Grimbeard - Garbage And
Inspired by Gwilym Wogan’s Daily Refrain, here we have an impromptu EP of grimy surrealist folk. Five songs produced in five days, resulting in just over eleven minutes of sloppy guitar, swirling background hiss, hastily programmed drums, and occasionally rhyming nonsense from the aptly-named Grimbeard. Throw your razors away and folk out with your yolk out.
Tracklisting:
- Beware the Ides of March of Dimes (1:44)
- 21st Century Laundry Man (2:47)
- Bigfoot Don’t You Lose My Number (2:08)
- Bitchcraft (2:29)
- Mouth Full of Pearls (2:07)

Thaumaturgist - Placenta Dinner
Skrow! is excited (and by that we mean aroused) to provide this attractively titled EP, being the debut (Skrow! or otherwise) of mysterious experimental witch doctor, Thaumaturgist (I’m using too many parentheticals). The collection opens with the way “Riders of Doom” should have sounded all along, and never looks back; barraging you artfully with a chiptune glitch fugue of epic proportions, a deconstructed piece of minimalist piano beauty, a raucous ode to corpulent cats, a blasting expression of dissent against grain-based foods, and an advertisement for cybernetic fuckmachines. So, basically, it covers all the bases. We suggest giving your home theatre speakers a workout and cranking this shit to 11. The neighbours love it. Don’t forget to pull out!
