Scratchcratchratchatch

Kid Koala

Seventy minutes of dusty, cassette-saturated turntablism. A whimsical collage of found voices, vinyl crackle, and melodic scratching recorded in a bedroom.

It's like a weird, funny cartoon made entirely out of old records and tape hiss.

A whimsical and slightly surreal journey through a dusty record collection.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The rhythmic integration of Cantonese language lessons against a stumbling hip-hop beat on track 2.
The jarring but melodic juxtaposition of a banjo being scratched like a lead guitar on Tubanjo.
The way Bjork's voice is chopped into a rhythmic stutter that retains its emotive power on track 8.
