Hard Sell [LP]

Giulio Erasmus & The End Of The Worm - Hard Sell [LP]

The Manchester-born, Brussels-shaped Giulio Erasmus plays with time, space, era, and the words that weave it all together. After two solo records released on Mangel Records and Absolute Fiction (plus a freshly unveiled live album from Meakusma 2024), he now -- joined by the quintet The End of The Worm -- presents his new offering: Hard Sell. A redigestion of forty years of underground English culture, collided by the urgency and freedom of Brussels' new wave, Hard Sell is an exploration led by a bassline that acts like a compass -- around which swirl whispers, cut-ups, abstractions, percussion bursts and sudden clearings. Together they shape a quiet narration, murmuring possible futures, indifferent to any of their consent. A1. ExtraA2. Mute, FastenedA3. HarbouringA4. OverwaterA5. Hard SellA6. Chances Aren'tA7.
