In the Autumn of 2013 Courtis contacted Moore to say he would be in Europe in March, 2014 and suggested they get some dates together for a tour. Moore suggested they make a new album to coincide with these dates. They promptly exchanged sounds and each set about creating one long piece each. Recorded at their respective homes in Buenos Aires and Brooklyn these two tracks, King Pancreas and Punk Butter have now been released through Moore’s own Earbook Recordings label.

Church Car is the Berlin-based duo of Ian Douglas-Moore (guit, electronics, vox) and Big Daddy Mugglestone (drums, electronics, vox). Fluctuating focus between slow rhythmic drones, layers of fractured melodies, and eruptions of mangled language, they create music somewhere in the intersection of rock, minimalism, improvisation, and text-sound composition.
