Slipping a Little More Tongue

As a prelude to the Overflow February's Dub & Dub Adjacent shares, I'm slipping you all a bit more Holy Tongue. On this one they teamed up with Berlin-based British Dub techno producer Sam Shackleton. 

The union came about after they all shared a festival lineup in Sweden. Holy Tongue, the trio of Valentina Magaletti, Al Wootton, & Susumu Mukai had initially wanted Shackleton to remix one of their existing tracks, but they ultimately settled on working on a whole new project. & what a project it proved to be. Shackleton's usual elegant signature sounds are all still here, the hurky-jerky tape stops, spiralling tubullar bells, Sound System bass heaviness, but never once overwhelming Holy Tongue's core energy.
