Fan club exclusive new album Heckel’s Whore now available free for subscribers on our Bandcamp. Recorded tonight at home, aka Black Ivory Printmaking & Audio Club on a Fostex four track cassette recorder that arrived today from ebay. It has the unintentional wobble sound my old one had. Like on the vocals of the Elbow Sisters recording below:
The new second-hand four track so far, only wobbles on guitar. Don’t know why as I’ve been recording different instruments on different tracks. Twenty years ago the 134 bus went straight from Muswell Hill to Denmark Street where you could get a new four track cassette recorder for £70.
