Refrigerator Mothers music is constantly evolving as we are learning and studying music of different cultures, alternate states of mind and alternative and spiritual states of being. The hop-frog kollectiv's Refrigerator Mothers are ritualistic and tribal post-punk folk dreamweavers but, let not the term folk lead you to the narrow field of American folk music but to indigenous folk music from around the world. The Refrigerator Mothers post-post-punk kraut punk folk-noise punk sound of the future embellishes electronic beats, with looping as well as live tribal percussion, throbbing bass and swirling guitars rich with the usual cast of hop-frog kollectiv members and their toy/world instrument antics ranging from saz to electric kazoos to rebaba to kitchen sinks to cumbus to child sized accordions. Would you like to release/co-release anything by any of the projects, let us know. see www.urckrecords.com for releases.

"We were blown out by how good The Refrigerator Mothers were. They
created deep trance states pushing tribal/middle eastern influences through punk and noise, softened by more then a dash of silliness, projecting the jazzy warmth of being in a collective body. Wonder why they at the roots
reminded me of us." - The Frank Moore www.eroplay.com
