After a couple of much talked about cassette releases that didn’t quite reach the doors of this shop, Martin Meyer (of Lumpy and the Dumpers and Fried.E.M. notoriety) returns with a full length LP from his Soup Activists solo project.
Working alongside Sweeping Promises to take the recording approaches and textures from the contemporary punk world and applying them to pop songwriting, Soup Activists are undeniably indebted to the legacy of Television Personalities, veering between jangling and scrappy (in a good way!) guitar sounds of Chronophage, Home Blitz, or the Silicone Prairie Live In Oz band through to dreamier reverb-laden passages akin to Rat Columns.
