Relay by Eric Craven
Artrock/artpunk: what's in a word? Reading Eric Craven's bio sounds and smells diy all the way. Relay is the follow up (if you wish) from a dance piece which started out in 2013 with the PRK7:01 & :02 cassettes. Early birds can find these original early tapes in our triple box. Digital only here:

'Relay' is a freeform assault on all genres with frenetic drumming, intimate synths, peculiar guitars and grooving undertones. A coherent and complete work to be listened to in one go. Some might call it postrock, others artpunk. Some maybe even free-jazz:). Pretty proud to present this to the world. And now we have Canada in our roster as well.
Artwork (with cassette only) contains ideas for people to express themselves as dancer, or whatever your imagination is capable of.
