The black Albumen began as an experiment by Glyn Bush (The Dandelion Set / Rockers HiFi) creating material rooted in the sounds of early 1970's organ trio Egg with nods to Stereolab, Jaga Jazzist, The Cardiacs & Knifeworld.
Finnish musician Hanna Ylitepsa embraces the odd meters and uneven bar lengths, adding her distinctive voice and poetic lyrics. Drummer Matt Hartnell provides a hard-hitting feel with the right degree of sensitivity. Assisted by producer Mark Tucker (who trained at Lansdowne Studios where Egg recorded) during the lockdown, by autumn of 2021 everything was mastered and good to go.
