Formed in 2008, Jonathan Lesbian Seagull are an improv synth-pop duo who began making music with a loop station, some green maracas and a £10 yamaha keyboard in their own words "as an adjunct to being shit at playing other instruments together". Every gig is different, with the music entirely improvised and the ever evolving songs constantly overlapping with weird covers (a current fave is Scott Walker's 'Farmer in The City' spliced with Phil Collins 'Groovy Kind of Love'). Until very recently this was also strictly a live proposition only (the band cite Bill Drummond's book '17' as a key inspiration), and this could well turn out to be their only ever official release, so best snap it up while you can!
Tapes are home dubbed and come in princely purple shells and slick plastic sleeves with an exclusive free download of both tracks. Super limited to fifty tapes only!!
This is the first set from the slightly tweaked Beach Fuzz line-up with Fliss Horrocks now playing guitar alongside Tom Settle and Nick Mitchell. Seven tracks of clattering drums, chugging and wailing guitars, screaming keyboards, mellow, lilting pastoral improv and moaned vocals.
