Ambient synth sickness
Sales Information:
Tom Hirst has been making music for many moons. Initial buds featured tape collages, distangled pop music, various dictaphone experiments, and over time all this meshed and warped into his solo musical venture known as Design A Wave.
Live On Your Yard is an E.P that presents 4 tracks of emotive and melancholic synth pop that point towards the eccentricity of artists like Snakefinger and Tuxedomoon, the synthetic slickness and charity shop glamour of Italo Disco, and the misery of Coldwave. This is the first vinyl release in Design A Wave's 10 year history, following on from a slew of humble and privately distributed cdrs, and is also the first Design A Wave recording to feature external musicians - Melissa Osborne on synth, and Will Saunders on bass
