Episode Synopsis

I’ve been listening to some progressive chill and Balkan beats over the past months or so and this is reflected in these new offerings. Fewer Indian voices too, but more traditional Indian instruments. A smattering of Patois (and Russian rap!) supported by oodles of analogue synth and a soupcon of industrial percussion. The keen-eared amongst you may also notice some delta blues singing on the EP. The Punjab doesn’t have any swamps but the Southern US does.

Re the title - All Cows Eat Grass is a mnemonic aid to learning the bass clef in music and, as it happens, bass takes a bigger role on this EP and the first four tracks are in the key of A, C, E and G respectively.

PS. Funny to think that the contribution to global warning from cows eating grass is far higher than from those who smoke it!
