Clatterbox – Control Freak – 12 Vinyl

This is the first release by Clatterbox on Touchin’ Bass. The ‘Control Freak’ EP is a no-holes barred audio assault, solid in construction and ready to deploy. During the mid-nineties, David Kempston (aka Clatterbox) secured himself a considerable following while recording releases for the seminal UK label Clear. In years to come his debut double 10″ mini-LP would become a collectors piece — widely regarded as some of his best material. Things have changed a little over Clatterbox’s 15 year gestation. The Clatterbox studio is no longer a modest lo-fi affair and his sound has mutated during a further stretch of insular lab experimentation. What has resulted is a frightening array of hard, angular computer funk the likes of which you will not have heard before.
