Vitamin B12 “Badges” [These Records] {33RPM}

The fifth solo production, limited edition, & home made LP from Brighton, England’s Vitamin B12 (a.k.a. Alasdair Willis). Badges uses fragmented sounds and abstract improvised noises & samples in the musique concrete vein. Pretty minimal in its undertakings but interesting in that it spans the experimental realm of simplistic electronic beat repetition & irregularity, soft & slow piano meanderings, and strange monologues about sounds and nonsensical ravings. Dysfunctional tape reels slow & speed up, reverse looping and meshing with static interference and spacey ambience. These are very unique recordings that switch between melody and modulated mishaps. Excellent non-abrasive kooky confusion!

    This is some band. Prolific, and completely unpredictable (seriously!), they take ‘out’ to a whole other level. It doesn’t stand still. It’s everywhere and nowhere.
