About
The album sees Gareth Sager on vocals, guitar, noise and production, joined by regular collaborators Ian Holford (drums), Dan Connolly (bass) and Davy Henderson (vocals). Gareth Sager is a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and composer from Edinburgh and the founding member of post-punk provocateurs
The Pop Group, avant-garde jazz / art pop collective Rip Rig & Panic and the unruly Bristol-rooted rock group Head. An industrious collaborator and a prolifc solo artist in his own right, Sager has been an unremittingly restless and versatile force in the post-punk era and beyond, throughout a dynamic career of confounding originality. As a vital presence, both in The Pop Group's original incarnation and in their subsequent reformation, Sager remained a principal foundation in one of post-punk's most relentlessly evolutionary and antagonistic groups. His uninhibited approach to instrumentation as a lifelong pianist, guitarist, saxophonist and clarinettist as well as his astute use of electronics helped inspirit the bands' momentous radicalism
