Glasgow’s Dam Mantle releases his debut LP First Wave in the first week in March through Wichita. It’s collects some of the tunes heard on previous EPs – ‘Rebong’, ‘Purple Arrow’, ‘Theatre’, the chopped-Disney strings of ‘A Statue That Is Perpetually Unveiled’ along with more explorations into gratifying beat-driven cut and paste weirdness. Plenty of oddness and bass to get lost in.
