Recorded during lockdown, produced \u0026amp; mixed by Meatraffle keyboardist Chris OC, Dante Traynor (SWEAT, Fat White Family 'Feet'), additional mix ing by Angelica Björnsson (Hi - Texas feat. Wu Tang Clan) and mastered by Dean Honer (Eccentronic Research Council, I Monster, The Moonlandingz), ‘Base and Superstructure’ marks a new sonic departure for the band rightly acknowledged as godfathers of the n ow infamous South London scene, centred around the Windmill in Brixton.

In addition to their previous two LPs ('Hi Fi Classics' and 'Bastard Music'), the band have released singles on Dan Carey's Speedy Wunderground and Moshi Moshi, plus numerous remixes including 'Meatraffle on the Moon' by the one and only Andrew Weatherall. The band have also played sessions for Marc Riley (BBC 6Music) plus regular plays from other 6Music DJs including Iggy Po p, Gideon Coe and Amy Lamé. “We were looking for labels for a while, sending out demos to small ‘indie’ labels to which we often had the response, “we really like it but we’re not signing anyone at the moment”, which feels like the new “don’t call us we’ll call you!”... We knew we had a good record so didn’t get knocked back and knew it would be a climb as many of these small and large ‘indie’ or ‘alternative’ labels can be even more conservative than the mainstream, I guess having less money and therefore having to ‘play it safe’. We bumped into Blang one night at The George Tavern and instantly had a good feeling about them…and guess what? They loved the music!” - Meatraffle frontman, Zsa Zsa Sapien. Genre-bending independent label Blang Records is a wildly non-commercial label firmly rooted in the DIY\/anything goes attitude of punk and antifolk, and has remained consistent in its commitment to releasing outsider music by the likes of David Cronenberg's Wife, Jack Medley's Secure Men, Brix \u0026amp; The Extricated, Milk Kan, Thomas Truax and many more\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blang Records","offers":[{"title":"Red LP","offer_id":50394116391243,"sku":"2052210","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP","offer_id":50394116522315,"sku":"2052213","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50394116882763,"sku":"2052214","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Meatraffle_-_Base_And_Superstructure_4f8a3dd2_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726432858"},{"product_id":"abstinence-blues-remixed","title":"Abstinence Blues Remixed","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAbstinence Blues\u003c\/i\u003e (Original Mix) was written, recorded and released during lockdown as the opening track of the \u003ci\u003eBlack Metal Music\u003c\/i\u003e EP.
