Cluttertones - unknown

When Rob Clutton announced the band were going to play some new material, he didn't mean music from the group's about-to-be-released second album — it was quite literally new material, untitled and involving some quick group huddles and Q + A sessions before starting each piece.

Rob Clutton: "Any questions?"

Ryan Driver [looking at sheet music]: "What... do I do?"

Darker, dronier and not so immediately tuneful, the set started with quiet ambiance before blursting outwards. The little fragment heard here, for example, sounds like it's auditioning to be a remorseful (and slightly-menacing) music cue in a film.

^* Does anyone know the title to this one? Please leave a comment!
