Keshco
Eclectic quartet of home-recorders (based in London, Oxford, Todmorden, Buenos Aires) who veer from bedsit folk to summery synthpop, psychedelic freakouts, jingles and cut-ups. Unifying lyrical themes include unsparingly honest self-deprecation, left-wing social/political outlook, love of the nervous outsider, offset (or heightened) by whimsy and surrealism. Live shows are sporadic, and resolutely shambolic but quite funny, with projections and props.
Keshco formed in the mid-1990s. Some early recordings are collected on Earlobe Holistics, a disparate 60-minute stream-of-consciousness cassette. Several CD releases followed, notably 2009's Deforestation of Dak and 2013's The Blood, The Horror. Keshco are stalwarts of the netlabel scene, releasing a string of free EPs under Creative Commons licensing.
Keshco also make comedy films and a zine, Beware!. Their current line-up is Andy Brain, Bob Follen, Luke Sample and Inés Boente. They all write, rewrite and swap roles from one song to the next.
