about

“Across the 8 tracks, Tibshelf allows himself free reign to experiment, improvise, and simply re-write the rules of experimental music, cut up method and splicing. A surprisingly laid back and utterly joyful album from start to finish. Highly recommended.”

"Whilst there is a lot to unpack on Understander, records like this are purely steeped in outlier culture. The punks, the metal heads, the goths, the ravers. Hell, even the suited and booted who have spent their existence trying to escape the Groundhog Day office environment. Understander is the mecca to marginal culture, and the clue is staring us in the face. Just look at the album title."
- Simon Kirk, Sun 13

"Described in the press notes as “…twisting and screwing funk hip-hop techno, film dialogue, noise rock and a smorgasbord of every sound from under the sun into a fresh sonic glory…”, this album demonstrates just how malleable hip hop can be. One minute it’s funky, the next it’s psychedelic then it’s noise driven. Thoroughly invigorating listening."
- Christopher Owens, Predominance 33, The Pensive Quill

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Second album of sampledelic plunderphonics cut n splice from Lee Etherington (founder of TUSK festival / former member of tape manglers Posset), twisting and screwing funk hip-hop techno, film dialogue, noise rock and a smorgasbord of every sound from under the sun into a fresh sonic glory like you've never imagined.

Hard to pick a favorite of this astonishing release as all bands are doing a terrific job and don't want them doing any other way but if i have to pick i'd say 72%'s track: incredible textures and love the abstract and sonic assault of the senses.. Big love and support to the ever crucial Human Worth xx Kevin Meylemans
