THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM:
THE SMALL HOURS SUNK0002
The Natural History Museum are Carol Keogh and Dunk Murphy. They decided to write and record a piece of music to commiserate the end of Donal Dineen's highly influencial fourteen year young radio show called "The Small Hours". On Sunday the 27th of November 2011, armed with an 808, a guitar amp and some woolen scarfs, they visited a freezing cold wooden floored room in Kimmage, Dublin containing a wobbly upright piano. Over the space of a couple of hours, a simple song emerged and was recorded to four tracks. The recordings were then edited and mixed down on 1st of December and delivered to Today FM just before midnight. With blind faith and genourosity Donal opened the last show with the song.

SUNKEN FOAL:
RICHTER VERSIONS E.P. SUNK0001
Three tracks from Dublin's mighty Richter Collective label get reinterpreted by Sunken Foal. Adebisi Shank and Hands Up Who Wants To Die provided stems of their original recordings for remixing. Rather than cut and paste the component parts, Sunken Foal transcribed all of the performed instruments into a midi sequencer and arranged the parts for synthesizers. The Redneck Manefesto's beautifully melodic "Tomb of the Dudes" also gets a reworking. Plenty of analogue drum machines, vintage synths, tape machines and effects swirling around glitching off-rhythms and stuttering grooves. Free to download or stream below.
