Cuckundoo are delighted to announce the signing of Quack Quack. The Yorkshire-based instrumental trio will release their debut album, Slow As An Eyeball, in 2010 but have several live dates already confirmed ahead of this, with more to be confirmed. On 27 January, Quack Quack play a show at The Library in Leeds with labelmates Vessels, which will act as a warm up show for the latter’s upcoming tour with Oceansize. Full details can be seen below.

Quack Quack are Richard ‘Moz’ Morris (keyboards/drums), also a member of Two Minute Noodles, Chops and The Declining Winter, Neil Turpin (drums) from Bilge Pump and Stu Bannister (bass). Instead of describing the band’s sound, this snippet from a review goes some way to putting Quack Quack’s music into words:

“On the surface, Leeds trio Quack Quack seem to exist in some animated part-prog, part-post-rock indie hinterland, but closer inspection reveals a tight-knit instrumental trio who, in absorbing and acknowledging everything from dub, jazz, funk, and electronic music, subvert all tidy enclosures of prog-this or post-that.” Allan Harrison, Copper Press

Here’s a video made using an early recording, ‘Cut Me Some Slacks‘, pieced together by a fan, guaranteed to put a smile on your face!

On Quack Quack:

“The elder statesfreaks of the Leeds underworld that make up Quack Quack hurl their krautpop nonsense about with a ferocity that engulfs an adoring crowd. The world becomes a cartoon. When Neil Turpin plays drums with one hand, it’s as though he plays with three. Moz leaps from kit to synth, to crowd, to kit again with the agility of a gurning baboon.”
