Bogman by Tweed & Hyenas

"Oh Tollund man, you may look like a half chewed old flip flop, but I feel your passion, like we are brothers. Looking at you mummified in dirt, I sink down to where time muddies. But why have you come back only to say so little? Perhaps I cannot hear you, and we today are too green to know what you have already forgotten, the felled language of the trees. My ears like yours are full of peat. But I don’t want to reduce you to type or a time: primitive or ancient. Every heart, yours included, is autographic. So I’ll improvise, keeping a vehement rhythm like Milford Graves as I dig you. Recovering your time today is like searching for pure water in mud."
(Paul Clinton)

The finest 8 minute skronk-pop single you'll hear all year, 'Bogman' is a first taste of Tweed & Hyenas forthcoming album 'Saltations', co-released by The Lumen Lake (UK) and Tutl (Faroe Islands) on March 20th 2025.

The Lumen Lake is an artist-run label for new and unusual music. Emerging from the primeval swamp of live nights of the same name at Lewisham Arthouse in SE London, and now based in South Ayrshire, the label celebrates DIY practice, alternative electronics, improvisation and other music that isn’t easily categorised.
