Spitting Cobra are a UK drums, guitar and laptop trio . Combining elements of noise, psych, electronica, lo-fi and post-rock the four tracks were recorded live in the studio in one day, capturing the rawness and angularity of the band’s live performances. Formed at a Wolf Eyes and Haswell Hecker gig in Barcelona by drummer Sam Wiehl (Mugstar’s resident AV artist, Eyes, Rhys Chatham Guitar Trio) and Robert Strachan (a sound artist whose recent collaborations include the dark ambient Mountain album/DVD with Anni Hogan for Cold Spring, Yann Marussich’s Ars Electronica winning Bleu Remix and field recordings for Machinefabriek’s Fabriek Bakker Fabriek project) the original idea of the band was to combine disparate influences (from Shellac and Slint to PanSonic and Fennesz) in order to create the one of the loudest live experiences in the UK. The addition of deep bass guitar tones and doom laden riffs from Dave Hand (Black Octagon, Red Panda) went on to complete what is developing into a genuinely experimental and unique avant-rock sound.
