giulio erasmus & the end of the worm + rebecca bonté

giulio erasmus & the end of the worm (brussels, be)

the manchester-born, brussels-shaped giulio erasmus plays with time, space, era, and the words that weave it all together.  after two solo records released on mangel records & absolute fiction (plus a freshly unveiled live album from meakusma 2024), he now - joined by the quintet the end of the worm - presents his new offering: hard sell. 

a redigestion of forty years of underground english culture, collided by the urgency and freedom of brussels' new wave; hard sell is an exploration led by a bassline that acts like a compass - around which swirl whispers, cut-ups, abstractions, percussion bursts and sudden clearings.  together they shape a quiet narration, murmuring possible futures, indifferent to any of their consent calamity!

'It's like riding a 6-legged horse, where sometimes the saddle starts to levitate and leave the animal.' - felix kubin
