Feb 5, 2021 – New Album: “A MUFFLED SNORE“ . “Creepy seemed to come naturally for us in this collaboration”. The dadaist texts of {An} EeL paired with Friendly Rich’s dark vocal delivery and the other-worldly sounds of David Sait to create a highly cinematic recording. Available on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music, Soundcloud, and other streaming services.

“deliciously wonky Ontario trio…got together to produce the astonishingly otherly soundworld of A Muffled Snore…
Friendly’s cracked baritone leads us into a world delighting in the play and plosive and fricative, the physicality of the spoken word”. from Backseat Mafia (full review: https://www.backseatmafia.com/track-an-eel-david-sait-friendly-rich-the-dainty-dandies-hail-the-new-princes-of-nordine-surreality/ )
