Thai dishes are intoned in breathless conjunction with rural Irish place names; lists of pancakes clash with pulpy lit clichés over low end striations; daytime television injury claim adverts are recited with inappropriate sincerity.
Sound art veterans The Bohman Brothers invest random words with unearned meanings via the eloquent juxtapositions of their elegantly neutral voices.
After three decades of experimentation, these alchemists of banality, these banalchemists, turn everyday leaden language into poetic gold.
As the heroic sci-fi sleeve shows, the Bohmans have a sense of the absurd, but they can seriously re-order your whole reality.
