April 20 street date. RECORD STORE DAY release. For its 30th anniversary, 4AD are giving "Spoonfed Hybrid" the expanded treatment. This edition is a one-time press that includes the original album as well as a bonus disc of demos and outtakes. The sleeve has been beautifully redesigned by 4AD stalwart Timothy O'Donnell, who has incorporated Simon Cleave's original paintings with comprehensive song notes and stills from the band's ‘Boys In Zinc’ video to neatly wrap the story of this short-lived and brilliant band. The duo of Ian Masters (Pale Saints, Isolated Gate) and Chris Trout (A.C. Temple, Bear) - Spoonfed Hybrid was Ian's first move after departing Pale Saints. Meeting initially through a fanzine interview and realising they had a lot in common, the pair formed a band and toyed with samplers in Ian's flat in Leeds, before moving onto Duncan Wheat's Sheffield studio, Neptune. Finally, the three of them headed to the Palladium just outside Edinburgh, a studio a lot of 4AD acts passed through at that time. A central cog, Duncan sadly passed away in 2012, and this reissue is dedicated to his memory. As playful and enigmatic as its creators, "Spoonfed Hybrid" is a fascinating listen that artfully intertwines indie pop and electronics with post-rock sounds. View all titles by this artist
