A new 12" from Andrew Weatherall, who sadly passed away earlier this week. A tweet from label Byrd Out reads: "I had the pleasure of working with Andrew across a couple of gigs and a trio of releases, and he was an absolute gent as well as a master of his craft. The label is due to release some of his new music this Friday. I discussed this with his management and we agreed that Andrew would have wanted us to press ahead. The context is one of huge sadness together with love and the greatest respect. So on Friday the release will go live and we'll let the music speak for itself. His infectious love for music touched many lives, and he will be sorely missed. Our thoughts are with his friends and family."

On Unknown Plunderer/End Times Sound, Andrew Weatherall turns in two thudding, low slung tracks. Expect clattering effects, outer space bleeps, and hypnotic bass. Andy Bell returned to join Andrew in the studio, layering a haunting, tripped-out guitar line over the top. File under cosmic dub. Limited to 1000 copies only.
