ALEXANDRA GRÜBLER of BAAL & MORTIMER – Song For Ewe
“SONG FOR EWE” is the feature where artists & music people beloved by VELVET SHEEP choose an obscure song they’ve been listening to that day. Today’s guest is the grey matter behind the spatial sonic temples of Baal & Mortimer, an entrancing, enticing prospect that’s like Cybotron on Mogadon, coming from the rich artistic and musical tapestry of Düsseldorf and “sonically exploring questions of resistance, autonomy,...
