  • Carnivorous Plants & Bowditch Double Bundle

    OUTSTANDING DOWNLOADS CODES SENT VIA EMAIL

    Pro-dubbed cassettes with full-colour printed artwork together at a bundle price. 20 bundles available, subject to increase depending on demand.

    As a way of making up for lost time as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, there will be two albums released most months on RTR throughout 2020 and into 2021. The second double bundle features Carnivorous Plants' 'Storm Ruler' (RTR027) and Bowditch's 'Songs for Wyatting' (RTR028). Both albums explore sonic textures and improvisation: 'Storm Ruler' pushes the recording medium of tape to the point of saturation and lo-fi; 'Songs for Wyatting' utilises imperfect 'silence' found on broadcasting materials as a sound source.

    Bandcamp only allows for one download code per physical item - an additional download code for the outstanding bundle release will be sent directly to the email address provided when purchased. The additional code will also be included in the envelope when the order is shipped.

about

The latest album from Bristol-based Carnivorous Plants celebrates lo-fi, improvisation, and the ancient folk history of Wales. The album's opener, 'Ysbidinongyl Lament', builds found sound textures as a choir swells to the point of tape saturation. 'An Ocean Above The Clouds' will be familiar with regular listeners; an earlier version appeared on the RTR sampler Vol. 3 at the beginning of 2020. The long-form 'Resurrection Cauldron' makes up side B of the tape and the final track on the album, with dense guitar drones and harmonic distortion.

"'Storm Ruler' is an interpretation of some of the tales from The Mabinogion. The book is a compilation of folk-tales and myths from ancient Wales. The music is an attempt to blend my own musical style with the mass choral music of South Wales where I grew up.

The album is dedicated to my Grandfather Wynne . A great point of inspiration for this album and my broader art in general." - Carnivorous Plants.

Collaborating with Cardboard Club label founder Robert Ridley-Shackleton resulted in the vibrant a playful artwork, supporting themes of growing up listening to tales of myth and legend.
