In 2019 on their album ‘The State Between Us’ The Matthew Herbert (Brexit) Big Band asked ’what does brexit sound like?’. It was recorded over 2 years with more than 1000 musicians and singers. Fast forward to 2021 and post-brexit as musician’s face crippling costs and admin to work in Europe, they release a new single with all the European musicians and singers removed. Matthew’s recording trip to Grimsby in 2018, the lonely swimming of the English channel and the haunting ‘You’re Welcome Here’ eerily prescient of a country painfully and pointlessly cutting itself off from its closest neighbours. This special brexit-edition ep is the sound of isolation.

I'm a bit anoid with my silf that I only just found this fantastic album yesterday, but also chuffed to fuck that I have at all. Love it so much what a wining collaboration 👊🔥🔥 Toblermone
The Melbourne producer's latest slice of warped club music is delightfully unsettling, with skittering beats and visceral textures. Bandcamp New & Notable May 28, 2019

I love this series because it is so interesting and the first 3 stages are nice to listen to for studying. The music is sad and happy, distorted in parts but real throughout. keenan_bruce
