Take a playful trip through childish psychedelic pop with our good friends Ygor Marotta and Monotax. Ygor is doing the art for the upcoming Swave release.

Keep your ears peeled for our first release. Craque’s Meat Hacker is a compilation of music that he has made over the past 10 years on various handmade instruments and electronics.
