Limbo

Pet Murky, haunting and desolate. Pet build atmospheric songs. On some they weave little more than glitches, pop, swishes, clicks and twitches. Meanwhile, the vocals are used mostly as an instrument, being fed through a reverb/echo box until they bear no relation to the human voice. It is at these times that Pet are at […]

This November, it will be four years since Limbo first launched as a weekly Thursday night ‘live music dance party’ at the Voodoo Rooms.  Things have changed quite a bit since then, not least the Edinburgh and Scottish live music scenes, both of which have changed almost beyond recognition, compared to the way things were […]
