Underfelt record on MP3 format.

For those
of you who don’t own a record player you can now purchase the
6 track EP via our store page for the reasonable price of £4.50
(it’s listed as £3.00 as the paypal shopping cart will automatically
add £1.50 shipping). Once ordered you will receive a web-link
in your inbox within 24 hours to where you will be able to download
the record. All MP3 tracks are at 192kbps.
For
those of you who do own a record player but still want the MP3s,
if you add a request in the paypal comments box when you purchase the
10” version we’ll email you the link to the download for
the tracks.
Ten inch vinyl
is my personal favourite format of all time, if you can, please support
vinyl releases!

Mewgatz,
named after a child’s mispronunciation (or is that misconception)
of music, is the twisted brain-child of Ed McGregor. Spending the better
part of his formative years in a velux windowed, floral carpeted attic
in the midlands with a collection of old abandoned keyboards, Mewgatz
quickly turned his electronic graveyard into a sanctuary where he mastered
the warped art of circuit-bending.
This guerrilla
art-form involves taking an electronic noise making device such as a
Casio keyboard and intentionally manipulating its circuitry, shorting
out specific points on the circuit-board, creating sounds that were
never before thought possible or even desirable.
Mewgatz’s
debut release Underfelt is delicate yet damaging electronica
of the highest order. Constructed around the brain of a £3 Yamaha
keyboard and an 80’s keytar, it’s dark and harrowing basement
pop. Paying homage to his fascination with original keyboard presets
and demo songs, Mewgatz fuses glitching preset bossanova beats with
delicate guitar chord progressions and tender untrained vocals, schizophrenically
remixing popular contemporary tracks until they’re bent out of
all recognition. These are lo-fidelity electronic ballads drenched in
raw, passionate, and vulnerable emotion.

With soldering-iron
raised firmly towards the heavens Mewgatz is on a quest for melodic
chaos, to find that fleeting moment were in the void between human fragility
and robotic malfunction, unpredictability and stability collide.
