Concrete Moniker presents:
The Red Box – Radioactive Princess enters Stage Right through a whirlwind of pure noise offering up a saucer full of proto-jazz. Non-songs fed on the children of improv, anchored by a rhythmic intensity at their centre. Concentrated moments filtered through long lost vinyl, deflecting like electric snowflakes.
Download includes 11 track album and pdf of exclusive illustrations by Guglielmo Manenti. Strings: Naomi Burrell, Nikki Hicks and Alice Purton.
