intro
Endreaing atest split release in Fat Cat's Splinter series, combines together new tracks from former Squirrel Bait man David Grubbs and the Animal Collective's Avey Tare
From Squirrel Bait to multi-piano recordings will make little sense to most, but it is the transformation that the music of David Grubbs has undergone. Put in a cliché; from punk to art. He shares the latest split in Fat Cat's Splinter Series with Avey Tare from Animal Collective. It's a clash of generations as Avey Tare's career spans over just three years. Grubbs' calm piano piece calls for a subtle drone sound, before it evolves around this pattern to elaborate on a redemptiion theme. David Grubbs' second composition is an electronic epilogue that echoes industrialism and transport. Accidently this unites with the scratches on the vinyl. 'Young' Avey Tare goes for small stories; the first track sounds like a haunted hunt; the second is built on heavy glitches, not your average dark urban zest, yet pretty confrontational; and the third number then drifts off into a warm soundscape. With aspects of a fairytale, an interview and playground shouts it is cinematic if not exciting. Even although it's a split record, the two sides belong to each other
