   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]

"..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]

"Very peculiar but highly enjoyable nonetheless" [Boomkat]

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

Glissando / HNIC july tour

Glissando and Her Name is Calla tour their brand newrecords
released recently on Gizeh.

GLISSANDO
New album 'With Our Arms Wide Open We March Towards the Burning Sea' out now.

"it plays like a majestic dream. And it's one you'll never want towake up from" NME

"Low meets Mogwai, only with fragments of Regina Spektor at her mostrestrained. Exceptional." RockFood 5/5

HER NAME IS CALLA
New mini-album 'The Heritage' out now. "...there can be no denying that Her Name Is Calla are one of the most daring,unconventional bands the UK has to offer right now. For that alone weshould all be exceedingly thankful." Drowned In Sound 8/10

"...this is the most agitated and obsessive I've been about an album all year. It has ruined my work-habits and destroyed my deadlines. And that, I think, is exactly what art should do.
Whisperin & Hollerin 8/10
Club Integral
