CLAWS - Splat City II

Format: 12" Vinyl
Catalogue No.: DE322
Release Date: 21 Nov 2025
Genre: Techno

Bay Area underground mainstay Brian Hock aka C.L.A.W.S. returns to Dark Entries with a ferocious new LP. Splat City II blends Giallo-streaked electro, Chicago acid minimalism and post-punk eccentricity into a journey that charts a dystopian metropolis that is both alien and familiar. Expanded from its digital release, the vinyl edition adds two new cuts alongside collaborations with Tyrel, Solar and Paul Costuros while weaving through mutant disco, slow-motion funk and eerie downtempo. C.L.A.W.S. refines his darkly cinematic sound here and while he never forgets dancefloor hypnosis, he also dips into sci-fi delirium. It's an otherworldly record packed with vivid imagery.
