SNORKEL are a South London-based collective whose members come from different corners of the alternative scene, bringing together the tactics of improvisation, electronica, and sound art. Propelled by the afro-kraut, jazz-dub leanings of drummer FRANK BYNG and the rhythms generated by cheap samplers and drum machines, Snorkel revel in the joy of psychedelic repetition throwing in elastic interruptions on guitar, analogue and digital synthesisers, trombone, live samples and vocals. 'Glass Darkly' captures the spirit of the band's spontaneous performances and the roughedged guerilla tactics of a band addicted to the dark side of the groove.
