Festering

You can set your watch by Front End Synthetics and their smorgasbord of diverse electronica. Genres may come and go all around them, but the FESers remain glued to their laptops; cutting, slicing and time stretching like it’s not going out of fashion. They say they are proud of Festering and so they should be. From Spectac’s superlative ‘Pudder’, a hyperactive percussive onslaught, tempered by intricate keys and chords, through to Mick Morris’ beautiful sliced-and-diced musical melodies via sub-aqua folk polka (folka?) from Sunken Foal to Neanderthal Chum’s day out in Funderland on DMT, it’s a disparate and diverse collection that, at the same time, fits together perfectly.
