Acretongue is the first electronic project we know of from South Africa and despite the associations one might have with its country of origin, "Strange Cargo" is bursting with perfection, starting with the incredible cover art and extending to the dark, hypnotic and nonetheless warmly enveloping music. An unusually haunting album with exceptional sound design, a welcome new face on the electro and synthpop landscape. Nico J. has spent over four years putting the finishing touches on the CD, but the wait has been worth it: an electro highlight of the year!
XL extensive audio samples (2 minutes of each song!) from the album now can be heard here. Dependent will release the album on 28.10. but you can already pre-order your CD for a very special pice at the Dependent shop.
