Birdhead - Tourist (Remixes)
Release Date: 2012-06-25

Birdhead have been tipped for 2012 by BBC Radio’s ‘Introducing’ show and continually plugged by Vic Galloway for their Kraftwerk meets Krautrock hi-energy sound. That same sound recently landed them a support slot with Death in Vegas.

Remixes on the EP come via Monosapiens, Tiny Casino and Audiosyncracy who cover everything from the funky break to the tec rewire.

A recent mini-interview on Russian site My Moleskine. I don’t use Moleskin books but that didn’t seem to matter. Its all in Russian - using Google translate it says “London artist is Phil Ashcroft poised between two worlds: the real and fictional. Contrasting colors, sharp edges, nuclear plants, the ruins and the complete absence of people in jobs.” - I found that last bit quite amusing, I guess its true though…
