about

Benbow and Strssy first met in a basement café in Lausanne, Switzerland just before the first sliced loaf was presented at the World’s Fair.

Benbow had just finished a tour of the Alps with wandering trapeze troupe, Normal Man while Strssy had taken a well earned sabbatical from conjoined mime act, Diet Pills.

Over the following years they exchanged correspondence and encouragement as they independently began making experimental electronic music. This split cassette on Cruel Nature Records is a celebration of this journey.

"Benbow explores the tropes of minimalist, dark-hip hop, with thwacking solid beats and phat bass that gnaws at the gut ....
[Strssy's] got that late 80s wax Trax! vibe, but with a more experimental twist, and it pinches the brain." (Christopher Nosinbor, Aural Aggravation)

There must be something magnetic that inexorably draws me into this thick chunk of noise, sweat, riffs, distortion, mud, repetitions, screams, psychedelia, and dirt. Something magnetic. And I have always been attracted to magnetism. muschiosauro
