• BATANG FRISCO - 'Batang Frisco' LP

Founded by Bill DiMichele, the lifespan of San Francisco based project Batang Frisco ('San Francisco Kids' in the Filipino dialect Tagalog) is inimitably distilled on this solitary self-titled record - an outlandish private press pearl of homespun minimal synth music. Recorded over the course of 1985/6 and self-released in 1986, the one and only Batang Frisco LP was the product of an inconspicuous DIY existence spent in the margins of the Bay Area scene in the '80s.

A miraculous curio of haywire electronics, crude drum machines, raucous 80s riffage, glistening soundscapes, irreverent, surrealistic lyricism and doctored samples, "Batang Frisco" has since gained well-merited cult recognition. A bizarre harmony of raw experimentation, bristling, sequenced rhythms, scuffed synth pop, dystopic industrial, austere synthesis, granulated cut-ups, and serene ambient.

Remastered from the original analogue tapes. Ltd x 500 copies with booklet with liner notes, reviews, and photos.
