about

The last demo Khartomb 1.0 recorded with drummer Ali and The Only Michael from 1,000 Mexicans (who passed away 14 Jan 2021) on production duties.

None of these tracks, recorded and mixed over several days in the iconic Alaska Studio in Waterloo, were released or achieved final mix.

Tracks ranged from the subversive MoR of Everybody's Garden, the post-punk jazzy vibes of Pleasures and He Say No War and the mutant disco-y Khartoum Smiles.

King Skin is an intriguing, driving reggae-infused track that was never fully developed during this session.
