Scissorgun are a two-piece soundscape project from Manchester: Alan Hempsall (of Crispy Ambulance) on treated guitars, vocals, prose and trumpet and David Clarkson (formerly of Triclops and Illuminati) on synths, keyboards, drum programming, rhythms and percussion.
The duo came together in the summer of 2016 with a view to creating spontaneous music, and by November had laid the foundations of Assault Two, their debut release, so named because it is the second release on Aural Assault Records, whose first outing was the debut single by Crispy Ambulance way back in April 1980.
This special 10” and CD package is released in a limited edition of 500 copies. The extended CD features longer versions of the five tracks on the vinyl as well as two bonus cuts. The artwork is by Pascal Blua.
Assault Two will be supported by live dates in the autumn of 2017.
