Hollywood birders Harry and Tom deliver four DJ unfriendly tracks aimed squarely at the parish hall. Sonic forage-ables and contemporary barndance to storm cruck frames across the Tunbridge Wells - Pontypool connection.

‘Drum, Botany & the Brash’ is the product of six months of outings and studio sessions by Forest Casual, a collaborative project by Harry Murdoch and Thomas Morley. These songs assemble nocturnal field recordings, barely metric rhythms, the May Day dawn chorus, wilted bouzouki and wood-pigeon wub. Two heads colliding to create a third, completely distinct from its makers.The resulting four tracks are dub infused soundsystem folk for the funglist massive, just don’t call it Folktronica. Entrenched in the music are many musical tangents explored in Harry’s basement, anecdotes of work and play on the ropes, and memories of jumping fences and squinting at woodpeckers. 

Harry Murdoch makes music as hmurd and has released with TT Label, Gin & Platonic, All Centre and more. He co-runs the label Cherche Encore and is in the band Hard On Yarn Sourdonk Communion. Harry is chronically ill. He mostly makes music with code.
Thomas Morley is a free improviser currently exploring composition by experience and relationship. He is 1/2 of microband ‘mosspit’ and provides side-person duties for artists in need of pads and foley. Hailing from South Wales, Tom finds catharsis by abseiling on heritage buildings and playing 5-string banjo.

DJ & Producteur, VAAL se lance officiellement dans le grand bain en 2015 à la suite d’un live 100% analogique pour le 
OFF des Nuits Sonores. A cette époque, il opère avec son “evil twin” Noé Dijoud sous le nom de VLB. Ensemble, ils 
écumeront de nombreux clubs et festivals, que ce soit en live ou DJ sets.  
2022 marque le départ d’un projet solo où VAAL expérimente les contrées plus sinueuses de la Ghetto House, Ghetto 
Tech, Techno, Acid & Tribal tout en intégrant House et Tech-House. Une esthétique audacieuse qu’il puise dans plus de 
10 ans de digging et de rencontres.
