Aubrey Brengelman-Loops
Carol Paine-Voice
The Ah Club have been doing their home-based recording
for almost six years now: Aubrey does the loops (mostly utilising
old rap and RnB 12" records), while Carol adds her haunting vocals
on later. While their music is often wistful and naive, there's
an aura of domestic unrest about it: a fragile, damaged quality
that gives you the chills. Similar to a band like Saint Etienne,
the Ah Club house emotional edginess under a sheen of complex
good vibes. Looped bass and drums strike like a hammer to your
skull, and then Carol's voice just crawls under your skin. This
record is a co-release with Shrimper, and is limited to 564 hand-screened
copies.
