Eric Craven – Relay

Description

‘Relay’ is a freeform assault on all genres with frenetic drumming, intimate synths, peculiar guitars and grooving undertones. A coherent and complete work to be listened to in one go. Some might call it postrock, others artpunk. Some maybe even free-jazz:). Pretty proud to present this to the world. And now we have Canada in our roster as well.
Artwork (with cassette only) contains ideas for people to express themselves as dancer, or whatever your imagination is capable of.
