MEWGATZ
Named after a child’s mispronunciation (or is that misconception) of music, Mewgatz make delicate yet damaging electronica. Based out of an abandoned electro graveyard in Bristol and armed with an arsenal of home-made instruments, from modified 80s Casios to keytars and kids toys, Mewgatz makes schizophrenic and chaotic yet beautifully subtle and fragile music.
Mewgatz’ new album ‘Love Songs and Car Boot Electronica’ is released in June on OIB records.
