Bleep

Laurie Tompkins follows up his debut full-length on Slip with a new record for Sacred Tapes (Swaggerjack, Black Vomit). 45th Generation Roman & European Bob (five points if you get the reference) is an erstwhile and unusual listen. The nine tracks here are the sort of avant-amateurism that lurks in the back of the output of artists like Micachu & The Shapes and Yeah You, but Tompkins takes it far further than those artists do. Much of this record is made up of wordless yelps and bash-on-the-keys keyboard playing.
