Crumb Jungle Records are excited to announce the new release by Glasgow based three-piece Eat The Friek. ‘Ploom’ is a twenty-two-minute-long trip into raw, experimental, garage psych-rock. Following on from their 2020 single ‘Muttrip’, the band creep back into the unique sound that they’ve been developing over the past two years with new and interesting twists. Fuzzy guitar riffs, dirty bass tones and thumping drums come together in this outbreak of noise that is set to be the bands best release to date. Eat The Friek worked with Robbie Wilson of The Kundalini Genie to recorded the tracks at Paul’s Halls in Cumbernauld. The tracks were mixed and mastered by the amazing Jason Shaw.
Originating from Aberdeen, now residing in Glasgow, Eat The Friek have been on an unstoppable roll since the release of their 2019 EP ‘Heart of the Snail’. Incessantly gigging around Scotland before being halted by Covid-19, the band found themselves playing alongside bands such as John (Times Two), The Psychotic Monks and The Wood Burning Savages. Just before lockdown the band released their single ‘Muttrip’ which coincided with a sold-out release show at Henry’s Cellar Bar in Edinburgh. Eat The Friek have kept themselves busy over 2020 with the recoding of ‘Ploom’ and are set to re-emerge from the dust of the pandemic with more energy than Scotland (or the rest of the world) has ever seen.
‘Ploom’ will be available on all streaming platforms and digital stores on the 5th of March 2021
