The purely physical teeny tapes label presents three live acts on a summer evening.
Marking the re-release of Breathing Under Honey (Low Company 2023 / pptt 2026), Naarm/Melbourne-based diy experimentalist Tarquin Manek brings his warped dub-pop project Static Cleaner Lost Reward to life for the first time with a handful of live band shows in EU and UK.
Tarquin has been a major player - and enabler - in the now rightfully revered Naarm underground, with releases under his own name and aliases including LST, Silzedrek and Static Cleaner Lost Reward. His contributions extend through his group projects F Ingers, Kallista Kult and Tarcar, as well as his co-productions on albums by YL Hooi and Carla dal Forno. He has worked with labels including Blackest Ever Black, Low Company, A Colourful Storm, and Kashual Plastik.
SCLR's Breathing Under Honey inhabits a world of hazy aquatic soundscapes, tape-loop decay, murky rhythm mechanics and ghostly songwriting, crafting disoriented yet strangely melodic songs that feel both corroded and dreamlike.
Emerging from the Paris experimental and free party scenes, SQ Mice create a unique sound attuned to the movements of body and brain. Programmed rhythms, agile vocals, walls of sound and noise combine to disorient then reassure the unsuspecting listener. Their debut self-titled album was recently released through Protopost/Disques de la Spirale.
