about

The first full release from Ondes Positive’s in-house band LARVA.

The LARVA Tapes will appeal to fans of drone / minimalism, primitive Krautrock and early electronic soundtracks, featuring an intriguing mix of lo-fi analog synths alongside acoustic elements. Created between October 2014 and November 2015 in a series of clandestine late-night sessions, these tracks were fully improvised and recorded live with one stereo room mic along to video projections of experimental films by artists such as Takashi Ito, David Lynch, John Whitney, Lillian Schwartz and Slavko Vorkapich.

released October 24, 2016

All tracks written and performed by Nick Sales & Scott Johannsson
Except Side 3, Track B by Nick Sales, Scott Johannsson & Sam Owen
and Side 4 by Nick Sales, Scott Johannsson, Sam Owen, Jim Smith, Laurence Hunt

Recorded at Muthers Studios, Birmingham [UK] in a chilly 6m x 4m 3rd floor lockup

Edited, mixed and sequenced by LARVA at Solatron Studios

Effort has been made to eliminate as much extraneous noise as possible, though neighbouring thrash brutalism, cruise-liner covers bands and fervent gospel rehearsals may occasionally be discernible in the lower end

Mastered by Brian Duffy

Designed by LARVA
