The dynamic duo of Andrew Cowie (Angel Eyes, Match Fixer) and Mark Groves (Voice Imitator, Red Wine and Sugar)....
Imagining Shunter & Switcher based on the name alone the mental imagery that comes to my twisted mind is a duo that trades cockney rhyming slang over digital reggae rhythms. Thankfully what's actually on offer here is a collaboration between Andrew Cowie (Angel Eyes, Match Fixer) and Mark Groves (Voice Imitator, Red Wine and Sugar).
Two long-ish tracks for voice and electronics that evoke a pre-Perfect Lives era Robert Ashley with text narratives regarding outer-suburb-of-major-metropolitan-centre social studies with sparse "post club" electronics (or someone sorting thru a Grime sample pack) leaking in from down the apartment block hallway.
A record that feels particularly of-the-now without being an annoying post-modern arts professional about it. - Nic

Label description... Got a tram with Mum after the Bowie exhibition last weekend, and some random hot guy started hitting on her right in front of me. Tells her he knows how hard it is to be a young single parent and that she "has done a good job with this one" - pointing at me. Mum goes "Oh yeah? Well I have three more where he came from and a husband who helped to make 'em". Dude says, "Nothing on the side then?"
