British brothers Clive and Mark Ives, have been recording together since the 70s. Over that time they have developed a sound wholly their own, combining acoustic instrumentation (primarily guitar and clarinet) and electronics in a way that reflects the past, present and future. This album via Palto Flats and New General Catalogue collects unheard WOO recordings from 1975-82. On Awaawaa they blend jazz, psychedelic, ambient and folk/pop idioms. Their work has drawn comparisons to Durutti Column + Cluster. Beautiful material, props to Palto Flats and New General Catalogue.
