"io is the next album track to be revealed from tsaik's forthcoming album, Lemon and unlike their recent single tehraj, it’s a more poignant affair. Found sounds, sublime guitar licks, Asian percussion, emotive pads and haunting vocals are just some of the things you’ll discover - all glued together with arpeggiated, glitchy textures and white noise. The result is an ever evolving journey of experimental electronic music that conjures up memories of the organically glorious beats of Bibio, Shlohmo and James Blake at their best leaving the listener comforted and relaxed."

tsaik is the four-legged halloween costume of Jacob McArthur and Joshua Ruffolo. Due to a love of experimentation, the duo often utilizes obscure samples and found sounds as well as traditional instruments to create rich, grooving sound-salads.

The Legend of Simko, Warden of the Submire

Long before the swamps turned toxic and the forests drowned in mist, there was a beast born of mud, thunder, and war. His name was Simko — the Warden of the Submire.
Scarred by countless battles, Simko carries the name etched into his flesh as both a warning and a vow: no invader shall claim the heart of the swamp.
When Simko croaks, the bass tremors rip through the waters, uprooting trees and crumbling ancient ruins.
Other beasts dare not challenge him — but when they do, they vanish beneath the bog, swallowed by the pulse of his fury.
It is said the mist itself bends around him, whispering the name SIMKO like a drumbeat deep in the earth.
