Russell Walker
Russell Walker was born on Berkley Road, Hillingdon on the 30th April 1980. He has been writing and performing since 2004. The novella, When New Towns Act Tough, appeared in 2016. Picture The Scene (Very Bon Books, 2022) features several more texts from this series, as well as other prose. His 'music' has been released on such labels as Siltbreeze, Chocolate Monk, Vitrine, Kye, Il Dischi Del Barone and Feeding Tube Records. He is a member of the Pheromoans, the Lloyd Pack, the Teleporters amongst others. The forthcoming Back To The Womb on Regional Bears will be Walker’s first solo work to not be released on cassette or CD-R.
Germ Lattice
The Norwich-based trio of Joe Barton, Mickey Donnelly, and Louie Rice met in London during the 2000’s but it wasn’t until they had relocated to Norwich in recent years that they rented a studio in a condemned brutalist shopping centre and the Germ Lattice sound was formed. They began by agreeing what they didn’t want the project to be: no improvising or jamming, no overdubs, keep the tracks short etc. Germ Lattice play a form of structured, repetitive & linear songs built around drums, bass, and synth with deliberately abstract vocals, which draw as much from folk traditions and the broader east Anglian landscape as they do from our fragmented modern world. Their novel use of microphones and live tape processing add a dynamism to the music where elements mask each other or the overdriven meters suggest the whole thing is on the brink of collapse.
Imagine this record as a palimpsest, rooted in place but spanning time, layering ephemeral traces of Mark E Smith, WG Sebald, and Laura Oldfield Ford. Musical references to Mosquitoes, Tools You Can Trust, Dome or Metabolist do not mislead.
