C.L.A.W.S. is the solo project of musical luminary Brian Hock, who has been a key figure in the Bay Area underground for over two decades  With C.L.A.W.S., Hock takes on the dancefloor, picking up cues from the Hague’s Giallo-dipped electro, the skewed minimalism of Chicago acid, and the mind-rending forays of San Francisco post-punk icons like Chrome and Tuxedomoon. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing 2019’s inaugural Splat City EP, \u003cem\u003eSplat City II \u003c\/em\u003econtinues to map the psychogeography of a metropolis both alien and immediately recognizable, one where life is cheap, but so are the thrills. Previously released on Squirrels on Film in digital-only format, this expanded vinyl edition of \u003cem\u003eSplat City II\u003c\/em\u003e features two new cuts. Things kick off with “Route 505” and “One Tear,” a duo of rompers that vibe like Tom Ellard and Chip E locked in a room with a vial of liquid. Next up, Bay Area deckmaster Tyrel lends his editing chops to “Vigilant Slimy Monsters,” sculpting a moody space disco beast. Squirrels on Film co-founder Solar teams up with Hock for “Black Magic Carpet Ride III,” a cavernous downtempo banger. The slow-mo pace continues with “Wild Slugs United,” which features the no wave-esque clarinet work of Paul Costuros. Closer “Don’t Flip the Crystal Ship” pays homage to Bayview venue Bay Area 51 with melancholic strings and a quartz-solid electrofunk bassline. \u003cem\u003eSplat City II\u003c\/em\u003e comes in a sleeve with artwork by Bert Bergen, which features a vampiric cat and sci-fi cityscapes. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dark Entries","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":55873589215563,"sku":"R2121-6194","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/bee7df09-a647-a574-bd12-8de41b8eba8a.jpg?v=1762775400"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/collections\/c-l-a-w-s.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
