nose job presents : carrageenan ‘dry signal’ release : carrageenan + germ lattice + decha
germ lattice
The trio met in London during the 2000’s but it wasn’t until they had relocated to Norwich in recent years, that they rented a studio in a condemned brutalist shopping centre and the Germ Lattice sound was formed. They began by agreeing what they didn’t want the project to be: no improvising or jamming, no overdubs, keep the tracks short etc.. Gipping Through the Ages presents the band’s structured, repetitive & linear tracks built around drums, bass, and synth with deliberately abstract vocals. Their novel use of microphones and live tape processing add a dynamism to the music where elements mask each other or the overdriven meters suggest the whole thing is on the brink of collapse. Dirt-caked, tape-damaged outsider jams at their filthiest, their debut is a flagrant deconstruction of post-punk, unravelling screwed basslines, chants and ritualistic beats with time dilating, on-the-fly concrète processes and canny studio Job.
