BUY THIS RELEASE

Damien Shingleton aka "Screech" has  been a favourite of the Benbecula team for some years.  His first contribution to the label was an appearance on Music Volume Three, and we are now pleased to present add this long player to Minerals Series.

Damien has an extensive recording history with a batch of releases on the very cool Hippocamp label starting pretty much at its inception.

Damien's release for Benbecula draws on recent recordings and collaborations, some previously available as downloads.

Reviews

“With diverse and interesting choices of instruments, clean production skills and an ear for a good tune, the musical integrity of Damien Shingleton should appeal to all fans of Four Tet, Caribou/Manitoba, Animals on Wheels and Adem.”
