Six new exclusive tracks from Elmore Judd, going deeper and more diverse, brimming with musicality and good humor. This is vintage Judd: dazed and dubwise New York art-funk meets wonky skank amongst the sozzled mongrels of Malian folk, Rembetika and Gypsy jazz. "Deliriously inventive and macabre late night, lo-fi soul music played with infectious glee ... A cross between Prince and Captain Beefheart." --The Independent

This is the second full-length release by North London's Jesse Hackett aka Elmore Judd. Weird, between-the-sheets soul from Tufnell Park. P-Funk running into art-school disco, rock avant-gardism, UK hip-hop, African roots music, a bit of rembetica from Greece, horror soundtracks and jazz. An ecstatic, danceable, menacing record populated by pirates, rats, Snakefinger, dead men and Tron. Drummer Tom Skinner, who played on Elmore Judd's first record Angel Sound, makes a re-appearance on Insect Funk, playing a kit, primitive drum machines, scaffolding poles and pots and pans. A dirty exploration of the scaly underbelly of soul as played by art hobos.
