FAMILIAR OBSTACLES by TOMAGA

Tomaga's debut Futura Grotesk was released in November 2015 and the album and subsequent lives shows drew plaudits from musical luminaries as diverse as Tony Conrad, Nicholas Jaar, Silver Apples, and the post-punk band Wire, who invited the duo to do a European tour together.If Futura Grotesk was the wakeful thought form, then Familiar Obstacles is the unconscious interzone, evoking numerous shades of the musical hinterlands of Tomaga, fusing studio experiment, field recording, and tonal spectrum into something that by turns resembles musique concrete, imaginary soundtrack and library music. This was originally released as a limited edition cassette by the Blank Editions label in Spring 2015 and appears here re-edited and re-mastered for vinyl. Tomaga are a London based duo who have played over 50 live shows in 2015 in venues and festival across Europe to widespread critical acclaim.
