Hacker Farm will release their sophomore album, UHF, through Exotic Pylon Records on January 14, 2013.
It’s the follow-up to the Somerset collective’s 2011 debut, Poundland, and feature 10 gloriously disorienting new tracks. “There’s a word for this stuff,” Warren Ellis is quoted as saying in an accompanying press release. “Paramusicology, maybe. Psychotronic audio. It’s like two nutters on a farm in the wilds — which isn’t so far from the truth — got an old radio to tune into the flight deck of a UFO while it committed low-level strafing runs on the minds of the Western world. It is pulsing and alien and lovely, and I haven’t heard anything like it all year.”
Comprising members Kek-w, Farmer Glitch and Bren, Hacker Farm describe their own work as “a celebration of the home-made, the salvaged and the hand-soldered. DIY electronics performed on obsolete tech and discarded, post-consumerist debris. Make-do and mend. Broken music for a Broken Britain.”
