   About Crackle
  CRACKLE is an off-kilter collaboration between bass player Nick Doyne-Ditmas [Shape Moreton, Charles Hayward, Pinski Zoo] and drummer Frank Byng [Snorkel, Spring Tides, Charles Stuart], that draws on their extensive experience as musicians and producers. Through a series of studio experiments and improvisations the duo reference a wide range of traditions and practices, moving between analog and digital, acoustic and electric, lo-fi and hi-fi… theirs is a musical blog about the cross-cultural traffic of south London, a soundtrack to the highways and byways of a discombobulated city.

The debut album Heavy Water is out now on Slowfoot Records.

Here is what the press have had to say...

"So varied and fabulous an album - by local mavericks Nick Doyne-Ditmas and Frank Byng - that we have trouble selecting this one cut, but fans of Miles Davis, Augustus Pablo and Isotope 217 alike will fall fast for it's ineffable cool" [Time-Out]

“…the pair take in the heavy, messy art-funk of Material and other downtown types, the lateral thinking and mixdown trickery of Brian Eno or Holger Czukay, and the textural understanding of This Heat.” [The Wire]

"..an electrifying cross between slumberland-trekking 'In A Silent Way' minimalism and heavy, heady dub" [Kruger magazine]

"South London duo dodge ambient electronica conventions to striking effect" [Uncut]

"Anyone interested in the outer limits of Afro-Dub Jazz from the likes of HIM and Isotope 217 could do a whole lot worse than dive headfirst into Heavy Water" [experimusic.com]

“…a loose, shifting album of cross-cultural surveillance, a living, breathing expedition into our petroleum fuelled city streets through evolving and involving free-jazz electronica” [Future Music]

"Very peculiar but highly enjoyable nonetheless" [Boomkat]

"The deliciously murky world of Crackle" [Verity Sharp - Late Junction, Radio 3]
