Description
Muck Spreader has made its mark in the London music circuit, sharing the stage with well - known bands like Fat White Family, Wolf Alice, Warmduscher, and Black Midi. Their sound is constantly evolving, unique, and impossible to categorize. Their latest EP, Abysmal, is their first vinyl release, representing a louder and more experimental step in their sonic journey.
Following the critically - acclaimed Rodeo Mistakes from last year, which was praised by So Young Magazine, DIY, Dork, Huw Stephens at BBC 6music, and Jack Saunders at BBC Radio 1, Abysmal features deranged screams, filthy bass, sludgy guitar, shrieking saxophone, and glitchy effects, with the drums holding the chaos together.
On the EP opener Take Flight, Muck Spreader warns, 'Fasten your seatbelts, find your nearest exit, and brace for an emergency. It's a bumpy ride, but you're in the safe hands of Captain Frosty Theodore and the crew will keep it mucky.'
In 2020 - 2021, Muck Spreader had an eventful year. They provided the soundtrack for Vivienne Westwood's catalogues, and their frontman, Luke Brennan, was featured as one of Westwood's 'SS21 voices'.
Drawing inspiration from punk, grime, The Dubliners, and Ornette Coleman, Muck Spreader discusses social values through a fully improvised setup. They claim there's no set writing process, breaking free from traditional musical forms and pushing the boundaries of what a band can be.
Using this Abysmal vinyl EP is easy. Just place it on your record player, gently drop the needle on the groove, and let the unique sounds of Muck Spreader fill your room. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid leaving fingerprints or dirt on the record, which could affect the sound quality. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. This will prevent warping and keep it in good condition for a long time. Enjoy this one - of - a - kind musical experience safely and with care.
