Flo & Spicey

‎"it's difficult to describe just how weird and special this package is. comprising a 3 track cassette, a tote bag, an art print, a badge, a lyric booklet and a photograph book, 'first' is the initial utterance from a mysterious duo that are known to be based in glasgow, are well-versed in the diy history of that city and, well, that's about it. musically, the lo-fi stew is instantly fulfilling. using cut ups, samples, noise and drift, the 3 tracks here range from unintelligible noise to pure psych-soul pop. it's the latter that hits the best, with a sultry female vocal (flo?) delivering a stand-offish, perfect sulk of a vocal in the best french pop tradition while a howling at the rain male rages under heavy echo. there's scant clues in the art print or the two booklets accompanying but a labour of love in the best diy tradition this most definitely is. as an initial utterance it doesn't get more ambitious or fun than this." rough trade
