We are truly honoured to welcome Dictaphone masher POSSET (human name: Joe Murray) into We Need No Swords HQ this week for a positively screed audio mulchup.
The Posset biography is explored and the secrets of tape-hewing are mulled over in a grafty collage that combines Murray’s very own vocal wallop with choice dispatches from the gloom of his personal archive.
Topping and tailing Joe’s specific transmission is the usual burp of experimental and out-there sounds, arranged herein for your listening pleasure by yours truly.
PROPER JAX!
