Biography

Snorkel are a south London based collective whose members come from different corners of the alternative scene, bringing together the tactics of improvisation, electronica, and sound art. The band features the combined talents of Frank Byng [Crackle, Prescott], Ben Cowen [7 Hurtz], Ralph Cumbers [Bass Clef], Tom Marriott [Pest] and Roberto Sassi. Propelled by the drums and the rhythms generated by cheap samplers and drum machines, the band revel in the joy of angular repetition, throwing in elastic interruptions on guitar, trombone, analogue and digital synthesisers and vocals. Described as “…the missing link between Krautrock and "Lee "Scratch" Perry" [Rock a Rolla], the band take their methodology from legendary bands like CAN, Soft Machine and This Heat, they like to play unrehearsed extended sets in non standard venues. They have released two albums [Glass Darkly, Stop Machine] and an EP on Slowfoot Records, with a third in the pipeline.
