WOLF PEOPLE 'STORM CLOUD/COTTON STRANDS' (BOR005) AA-SIDE SINGLE OUT NOW

Wolf People return with the follow-up to their long sold-out vinyl debut, ‘October Fires’ (BOR001), with another dose of reactionary fuzzed out mutant psych. The past year has seen the band play alongside the likes of Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals), Voice Of The Seven Woods, Candie Payne, The Aliens, Malcolm Mooney and Damo Sazuki (ex-Can) amongst a host of other notables at venues and festivals the length and breadth of the country in between an exhausting recording schedule - the fruits of which are etched into this limited edition double AA-side 7".

BENEATH FIRE & SMOKE 'ICEBERG WALTZ EP' (BOR004) OUT NOW

Infused with krautrock sensibilities, aching classical flourishes and a healthy dose of skewed electronica, it is difficult to pigeonhole this record into any 'mainstream' genre. Coupled with an organic live set that veers from fully blown band backing to a one-man-beat-heavy electronic headfuck, Voice Of The Seven Woods and All Traps Set collaborator Pete has produced some of the most original and alluring music Battered Ornaments has heard for a very long time - earning himself a small but cult following.
