FWONK*
Cardigan of Wasps’ neurotic love affair with derangement comes to a close with the delirious industrial maelstrom that is Carnivore.
This EP features six creative remixes of the title track, passionately dissected before being thoroughly torn apart for your amusement by each member of the band.
Sakura Swarm: concept, composition, synth, bass, mix, artwork, additional nonsense
o terceiro invisível: dissonant perc
Dr. Decker: sludge, farmyard licks
April Anthrax: regurgitation

Over twelve months, twelve Fwonk* artists were put to the test in this experimental single-track album based on the popular children’s ‘Telephone Game’.
In their chosen month, each artist used only the last few measures of the previous month’s track as a foundation for their own interpretation on the theme. The result is a metamorphosis in sound, with often only seeds of previously recognised audio being discernible. Just like the actual game, the first and final tracks could not be further apart.

Insane, damaged, schizophrenic. Cardigan of Wasps takes a turn for even darker waters in the filthy noise-industrial mechanical monstrosity Goreshit Roadkill. The five unconventional remixes on this EP hack the original song to pieces, reassembling its remaining flesh and bones into beautiful depictions of ugliness.

Dr. Decker: plugs & pedals, arpy stringed instruments, chuggy bits
