The Tump Clump # 36 - Supernormal Preview Special! 01/08/2024

 

So the day this show aired, I was already at Braziers Park enjoying the sights and sounds of the Supernormal Festival.  Not quite in full swing, but full of crew and volunteers getting into the spirit of what would be another fantastic edition of the quirky DIY festival.

But more of that in the next blog post.

First broadcast 01/08/2024 20:00 via SoundArt Radio FM Totnes and online.

  • 1. Rrose - Alloy (AL GHARIB Fundraiser compilation)
  • 2. Fish El Fish - Skin Shedding In The Pantry (Dog Wearing Dracula Fangs)
  • 3. Lacrima - Fig (Cachexia)
  • 4. Yol - An Offering (Burselm Accomplice vol 2)
  • 5. Genderisthebastard - XXVI
  • 6. Soloman Tump & Plague Arish - sprnml  [recorded at Supernormal 2018]
  • 7. Plague Arish - Day 1 in the cave par deux, I cant wait to be a chocolate bunny (s/r)
  • 8. Nkisi - What you Dont kn0w (BLK SPLLS 2)
  • 9. Monoxide Brothers - Three pounds forty with a clubcard
  • 10. Chlorine -Bubblewraps (Velvet Teeth)

This show was curated by listening to a bunch of names on the programme that I did not recognise (eg Nkisi and Monoxide Brothers) and then deciding that I liked that! But other artists I was familiar with (Rrose, GistheB and Yol) who I hoped I would catch at the festival having never seen them before.

For Supernormal because I volunteer and never know what my shifts are until I get to site, I tend to have an idea of what I want to see, generally miss about 80% of that, and end up seeing a whole bunch of different amazing stuff instead.

Spoiler alert: 2024 was no different!

Soloman Tump - Torpid State LP

I finished working on my debut full length album, and actually it wasn't too arduous, all things considered.




The album is called "Torpid State" and is a reflection of the long deep sleep of Winter and the promise of the warmth of Spring.  Its kinda almost got some positive stuff in it, but dont worry... its still mostly dismal.  

Partly inspired by the dungeon noise of Disgusting Cathedral I've introduced keys into the Soloman Tump sound for the first time... sitting around the usual dirge and simmer of crusty noises and stuff.

The main thing is that it was fun to produce and I tried not to dwell for too long on "tweaking" the tracks after they were recorded.  As usual, a lot of the tracks started as session recordings whilst others were created from separate layers over time.  Plenty of field recordings and foley sounds in here too, such is the way of things.

I plan to release the album just in time for Supernormal Festival 2024, where I hope to have a few copies for sale / trade (CDr) and also stick the digital up for sale then too via my bandcamp page.  There is a preview track on episode 35 of The Tump Clump, where you can hear the track "Nocturne".

Thanks for listening!
