Horselover Fat - Shreds

[pbb]

The Horselover Fat persona has been active in the world since 2006, taking residence and making music in Devon, Oxford, York, Bristol, Brighton, and Luton. The music it makes sounds like an anthropological effort of 2437 discovering written evidence of a once-popular music known as ‘jazz’ and trying to work out what it might have sounded like. It is influenced by everyone, ever. Horselover Fat are a band, formed in theory on a whim on Brighton, and in practice in a pub in York. The band’s members attempt to split the difference between their relative loves of techno, dubstep, MOR, and noise, sometimes with a surprising degree of success. Daniel Lippard plays the guitar, Robin van Rijn plays theremin and synth, Mark Burton plays more synth and alto saxophone, Tom West plays keyboards and whatever else comes to hand. They’re affiliated with The School of Unthink (est.2009.) The band are named after a character from Philip K. Dick’s late novel VALIS, which some of them have even read. ---
