Nic Barbeln > Towards Forward Futures

Check out the free download of Nic Barbeln (a.k.a. Dead Ghost)> Towards Forward Futures from ID FIXE Nic's solo project away from Clipd Beaks is a stellar journey into the realm of tape manipulation and effected loops.7 songs recorded in one night to 4-track tape it's a one take wonder with lyrics that have hints of Syd Barret and Tom Yorke swirling behind acoustic guitar.It'll make your hair stand on end.

go beaks go!

Check out the amazing song/vid from my buds Clipd Beaks. Lets hope they come enlighten us all here is Japan soon!!
