[b]PRESCOTT[/b]

An instrumental trio of bass player, Kev Hopper (Stump, Ticklish) keyboard player, Rhodri Marsden (Scritti Politti) and drummer, Frank Byng (Snorkel).

Prescott deliver a curious mix of the melodic and discordant with syncopated funky, skewed beats and lopsided, sometimes jabbing riffs that emerge from a complex web of musical interactions and expand or contract like sections of a stuck record. There is more than a reminder of Hopper’s previous band, Stump, echoes of Prog Rock (Soft Machine, Van der Graaf Generator) a whiff of Post-Punk outfits like Palais Schaumburg and a hint of the contemporary Kraut-groove of Byng’s own Snorkel ensemble.
