Blood Drums

Tim Gane’s main new vehicle for creative work after Stereolab first went on hiatus found him settled in with a slew of old synths and drum machines, recruiting th’ Faith Healers (and early Stereolab) drummer Joe Dilworth and synth player Holger Zapf. The result was a new path forward for Gane, being a series of sometimes quirky, something aggro and sometimes serene instrumentals that all pulse and flow with the feeling of a great late 70s science documentary soundtrack. Among the killer song titles: “Dystopian Shopping Mall” and “Hot Electric Insect.”
