about

'This album seems to have been made just for me. And maybe also for you! But especially for me. Tape gloop all over the damn place… rewinding, fast forwarding, beautiful cassette gunk. It’s not some serious aggro bullshit, either… this album is FUN! It’s party noise for people who smile. Recommended for fans of Bren’t Lewiis, Blood Stereo, Cody Brant, Hair Stylistics, Evil Moisture, Territorial Gobbing… yeah, it’s a damn good time. Super high recommendation.'

----------

'Orchid Terrace Preface is a bewlidering assortment of found sounds and voices played through intentionally malfunctioning cassette players and recorders. Strange rhythms appear sporadically alongside out of context dialogues and abrasive contact microphone madness with moments of chaos juxtaposed against a sort of calmness that fades away at a moments notice.'

- Lars Har, On The Fringes of Sound
