EB Premiere: Grumbling Fur’s “Protogenesis” (Sculpture Remix)

Grumbling Fur are the duo of Alexander Tucker and Daniel O’Sullivan, both of whom have already had productive careers in underground music in their native Britain. Tucker is an acclaimed solo artist mining an unusual, doom-laden folk; O’Sullivan is probably best known as a member of Guapo, whose instrumental proficiency was key for their metal-informed prog experimentalism. Both have been involved in (different) collaborations with the likes of Stephen O’Malley. While you might expect that their work together as Grumbling Fur has a hint of doom menace, the electronic palette and almost pop structures in new album Glynnaestra are a surprise. Perfect material, then, for a rework by electronic experimentalists Sculpture, best known for their awesomely disorienting releases for the likes of Dekorder and Kaleidoscope. You can hear the original version of “Protogenesis” here, and listen to the Sculpture remix exclusively below:
