After a reasonable hiatus Awkward Silence return with another 3" split CD. I think the last one was by Nautilus and Uga. Gosh that seems like ages ago.... Followers of Cheju will be all excited with his appearance on the label along side Shoosh. Cheju unleashes 'Moody Copy' and showcases his trademark warm melancholic electronics with solid beats and an emphasis on melody and texture. 'Drago' is a more somber piece with shimmering strings that head straight for your heart. Meanwhile Shoosh's contribution 'Elastic Soil' has an almost Spanish sounding guitar underpinning a psychedelic male vocal that has a trippy melting acid effect that reminds me of Hush Arbours. The man responsible for these mind warping vox is Neil Carlill, formerly the singer in 90s indie band Delicatessen and he was also in Lodger and is now in Vedette.'Come In From The Cold' is an alien acoustic track with more weird vocals that are like Neil Young possessed by one of the muppets. 300 copies only.
