about:
A cosmic remix version of Auclair's Semaphore EP, featuring gifted friends and members of the Kit family. Second Signal is a free download, but those who choose to donate over a couple of squid will receive a copy of the original Semaphore CD and picturebook in the post (just send us your address!).

Second Signal has the pleasing sequencing pattern of catchy / weird / catchy / weird. Shape Worship recalibrates the spiralling prog of 'Mersea Mersea Me' with dense, fidgety grooves and globules of bass undulation. Italian headspace master Sebastian Palomar promptly flings us from this solar system into the inky deep, Auclair's crushed and obliterated vocal a wail of existential horror / ecstasy.

Taking on 'Here Come The Planes', Toby Gale scrubs it clean as a whistle before festooning with springy, wayward bleeps and gorgeously wonky keys. Finally, the great Anna Meredith completely rebuilds the closer, draping Auclair's voice in bafflingly elasticated chords and creaking, ravey arpeggios.

"four mirror versions, deformed, pepped up or lugubriously stretched out to form a weird echo of the original quartet ... The whole thing is quite bizarre and brilliant" - No Fear of Pop

"Boingy" - Anna Meredith
