Rattle is an exploration into subtle rhythmic fluctuations, tonal space, and minimal melodics. Their setup of two singing drummers seems unlikely, but Rattle use the limitations of their arrangement to create pieces of textural percussion and threading sublime melodies through the gaps.

Great to get out and play a couple of shows with Sir Richard Bishop over the weekend. Thanks to all at the Smokehouse and Chats Palace for looking after us. Here's a neat bit of footage from my set in Ipswich, and many thanks to Stuart for uploading it:

Ipswich: free ticket to Sir Richard Bishop tonight to anyone who messages me... I'm unable to attend and hate for it to go to waste!

(Yes I recognise that the venn diagram of 'wants to see richard bishop', 'can go tonight', 'follows my bluesky' and 'near ipswich' is miniscule...)
