Germ Lattice is a Norwich based trio who met in a condemned brutalist shopping centre and hunkered down around a tape machine to make bare bones kunst rock with the agreed strategies of “no improvising or jamming, no overdubs, keep the tracks short etc…”. Imagine dusty traces of Mark E Smith, WG Sebald, and Laura Oldfield Ford squishing around with Mosquitoes, Tools You Can Trust, Dome and Metabolist. Hot Stuff!

Euan Currie is based in Edinburgh. He spent many years honing his skills in Walkman manipulation as part of the noise rock group Muscletusk and solo as Dead Labour Process, squirting out a stream of releases in the 00s and 2010s on various disreputable labels. He recently performed with the sound artist Marlo De Lara at 2024s Tectonics Festival, and a long-distance duo with Albany NY’s premier cleverclogs Eric Hardiman birthed an album on the UKs greatest weirdo label, Chocolate Monk. In a rare solo outing, Euan will present a piece for modular synth, tape recorders and lips.
