Bleep

Manchester-based painter, artist, DJ and producer Richard Harris, aka Sockethead, has crafted a DIY album for the ages. Transcending genre and mood, his idiosyncratic creations are said to have been conceived in a caravan on the Scottish West Coast. The outsider vibes translates into a record which wears its outlandish attitude on its sleeve. Off-kilter drum hits, looped vocals, punk spirit and a deconstructed turntablist sensibility. Imagine a meeting of psychedelics, hiphop beat smiths, Steve Reich’s vocal experiments and a Northern sense of humour, and you have something close to Harj-O-Marj.
