CMU Approved
Approved: Dam Mantle
By Andy Malt | Published on Monday 12 April 2010
There’s something almost contradictory about Glasgow-based musician Dam Mantle, or Tom Marshall to give him his real name. He makes the sort of cut up, jerky electronica that you might associate with Warp Records. But when used as a description, that probably also conjures up images of a serious man in a dark room, hunched over a computer, obsessing over each millisecond of micro-editing.
Marshall’s music isn’t like that, though. It has an almost childlike, excited quality to it, particularly on ‘A Statue That Is Perpetually Unveiled’, the opening track from his debut EP ‘Grey’, which was released last week by Halleluwah Hits. You can find all four of the EP’s tracks and a whole load of other stuff on Dam Mantle’s Soundcloud profile, and he’ll be heading out on tour around the UK with Gold Panda this week.
