A stoutly democratic alliance featuring the acclaimed flamenco punk guitarist RM Hubbert and multi-instrumentalist Stevie Jones (Sound of Yell, Arab Strap), Glaswegian mutant-disco kings El Hombre Trajeado return after a decade's absence with the album 'Fast Diagonal': a firework display of irresistibly warped beats, basslines and bleary-eyed synth work gilded by appearances from guest vocalists Sue Tompkins (Life Without Buildings), Ela Orleans and Sao Paulo-based Chris Mack (James Orr Complex).
With beautifully intuitive artwork by award-winning, Glasgow based artist Toby Paterson, 'Fast Diagonal' is a triumph of abstract melodicism or, as producer Paul Savage commented in the studio: "like a math rock band doing the soundtrack to Gregory's Girl'.
