about

The members of the Ashram Poets, Greg Vincent and Peter Long, decided back in 2006 to retire their six-strings indefinitely and dive headlong into the world of loops, beats and electronica. With a combination of ingenuity, experimentation and self-admitted ignorance of electronic music conventions, they arrived at a sound entirely their own by stripping back guitar, bass and drums arrangements to basic feel and melody. Cutting up loops from old recording sessions yielded new grooves and textures, gradually revealing a new electronic aesthetic emerging from their previous rock and pop sensibilities.

The Ashram Poets defy initial categorisation, though happily wear their influences on their sleeves: from the tripped-out keyboard sequencing reminiscent of The Stranglers through to Happy Mondays-esque grooves and the minimalist approach of Massive Attack, the Poets are joyfully eclectic. Their influences swing wildly from the gritty Tom Waits-like drum and bass workout of Sex In Her Step to the dreamy, Air-like quality of Seize, to the Madchester rave of Mortalised and the quasi-eastern overtones of Corpios. Underscoring all however is an assiduous attention to melody, addictive hooks and infectious grooves.
