ENFANT BASTARD is Cameron Watt, the authentic enfant terrible of the edinburgh music scene for the past three years. Alternately noisemonger, slacker-folk maverick, and more recently 8-bit circuit bending wizard, Enfant Bastard is a strange, many-headed beast. Cameron Watt’s irrepressible creativity to date has resulted in numerous cdr albums and mini-albums, each hand designed and manufactured in his one-man studio, Pigsty Tapes, most often to be discovered posted through letterboxes in the dead of night or thrown into the crowd after shows.
A 21st century renaissance man and home recordist extraordinaire, Enfant Bastard’s output is prolific, spanning genres from wonky indie-folk through DIY electronica and 8-bit chip music. Likewise his live appearances are notoriously unpredictable, he is as likely to be wielding acoustic guitar or gameboy and sampler alongside any number of his armoury of home-modified machines and synthesisers and his sets are often confounding and exhilarating in equal measure.
‘Cameron Watt should be designated a national treasure. Even in a country so ludicrously teaming with musical talent, Watt’s single-minded devotion to the DIY lo-fi aesthetic should earn him a knighthood’ (The Skinny)
‘snobby art school jazz pish’ (NME)
‘ultimate stream of consciousness music’ (Songbytoad.com)
