Chris Pottinger is a name you may be familiar with if you've heard Slither, Odd Clouds or Cotton Museum. This guys art has an awesome style... highly detailed but quirky cartoon macabre adorns this lovely sleeve and the sounds on this 45RPM LP reflect the weird nature of the illustrations. Recorded in his basement, this record has two tracks. The first of which 'Moist Membrane' is a delicious slice of Michigan horrorcore in a Wolf Eyes/ Dead Machines mould. His tools are Saxophone, analog synth and zither and here creates a startling disturbed soundscape that evokes images of strange little creature infestation. 'Dripping Dead' is equally unsettling with scrapping sounds, a sinister pulse and almost spooked horror analog synth. Hand numbered edition of 400 copies. I really dig this!

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Plague ridden corpses are scavenged in the forest by a starving beast. The bodies are hidden amongst the rotting bark thats shed from the termite infested trees. Their skulls are destroyed, cracked open like freshly laid eggs exposing their throbbing brain membranes for the rancid feast.

MOIST MEMBRANE is a new 12" LP from Chris Pottinger (Cotton Museum / Slither) This album is a complete cellar-dweller horror soundtrack to a film that should have been made in 1974. Not quite harsh, not quite mellow, this LP could only be recorded in a depressing, moldy Michigan basement. Saxophone, analog synth, zither, and who knows what else are used to create this album. Deluxe full color LP jackets, full color center labels with a B & W poster of a mutant autopsy gone wrong. This LP plays at 45 rpm and is limited to 400 hand numbered copies.
