Free Music Friday: Reader Kvetch (Sean Gillespie) sent word of an EP of live electronica performances that he’s made available as a free download:
I love your blog, especially free Music Fridays, your releases from that are always filling up my music players!
I have just finished recording a totally free to download and share 5-track EP under my stage name Kvetch. I have other releases on record labels here in Scotland, but thought I’d put one out totally free, rcorded in one take with no after production, using a pair of Electribes, Samson SM10 and some homemade synths and a homemade MIDIBOX.
Thought you guys and/or your readers may be interested in some Scottish electronica, kind of glitchy, kind of breakbeat, kind of other things.
You can preview and download Kvetch’s Pop And Sizzle EP using the player above.
