Outta nowhere with one of the best albums of 2024, Cuneiform Tabs stay on the same track with one of our favourite mixes in the Inner World series, and one that makes a whole lot of sense of their own sometimes-sideways, off-the-boil music.
Hard to pigeonhole they shall remain, and these songs might not help you any further in that regard, but they do provide a little context for the eccentric perspectives they take a view of. It's a time worn lineage they form a part of. Be thankful it still rages on.
"An inebriated fumbling through our shared memory palace, the Cuneiform Tabs entry to Inner World gathers a range of teenage fascinations, inside jokes, and current dalliances selected for shampoo drinkers and melodians alike. Compiled in much the same way our music is (remotely, by committee, and in “exquisite corpse”-style), this also informally celebrates the reissue of our debut LP, now back in the world thanks to Superior Viaduct. If you like that record, think of this as some supplemental scaffolding for the bust cycle we’ve been attempting to soundtrack our entire lives. New LP coming soon, too." - <3 Matt & Sterling
Cuneiform Tabs' debut LP is back in print and available to buy here. The band make their live debut at the WOE is 6 birthday party on 31st October. Tickets available here.
