Artist description Clutch Cargo is an experiment in attempted synergism. The 'band' is the fruit of Melbourne Independent musician turned nerd Goldman Junkwise's loin, and consists of approximately 50 indie and electronic musicians from the qaint little scene of Melbourne, Australia. Consisting of multiple incarnations, the tracks you're about to hear include original samples from 70's sci fi movie promotional trailers, pop-culture american ads ("help I've fallen..." "thats a spicy meatball") Fat-ass beats, and messed up symphonic episodes... There is another configuration to the band, incorporating 'standard' instrumentation to record stock 'standard' guitar based songs in the vane of bands like Pavement and Sloan. What does a 50 piece indie/electronic band sound like? You need but one click to find out...
