Promo sheet:
'Ombilical,' (French for 'umbilical')
Its often disharmonic, looped polyrhythms are inspired greatly by the Fluxus art movement of the 60's and 70's which emphasized the artistic process over the finished product.
Originally intended for release in 2018 and then again in 2019 (the letter-pressed sleeves bear either year accordingly), unhappy with the results, Johnson junked at least 2 prior versions of the album before settling on [this].
Amanda Butterworth (aka Mücha), Oliver Cherer (Dollboy / Gilroy Mere), Franck Alba (ex-Piano Magic)
'Ombilical' comes as an Arigato Pak, courtesy of Stumptown Printers, Oregon, letter-pressed by New North Press, London.
It is left to the purchaser's discretion as to where (or if) to cut the attached red raffa umbilical cord.
Initial copies are accompanied by a 10 track bonus disc of synchronous recordings, 'Prostheses."
