Butchered by Banjo

• 18th Jun 2010

Butchered Banjo Records cooking up a new sound that isn't pretentious or avant-garde-shite.

Imagine a fusion of (bear with me, it's actually works) early Pink Floyd, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Hendrix and Clapton and you're part way to understanding the sound of Mez Jones, Butchered Banjo's main artist. Piano melodies cut short by raging guitar riffs; haunting electronica hums and clicks over single-beats and weaves under and over jazz chords and misery blues. Awesome stuff.

A Scottish outfit, Butchered Banjo Records have 5 tracks you can stream from Mez Jones' EP Rooks. Immerse yourself in Misery Guts, float away to Penguins and work your way forward, backwards and sideways through the live track Schitzo's Dream.
