Snorkel

Snorkel is an incorrect tag for シュノーケル. However, there is also another band from London called Snorkel, so there is some ambiguity.

Snorkel are an avant-whatever collective exploring the nether regions between the groove and free improvisation; sub-aquatic observations of dub, jazz, afro-beat, krautrock and electronica.

This South London-based collective, whose members come from different corners of the alternative scene, bring together the tactics of improvisation, electronica, and sound art. Propelled by the afro-kraut, jazz-dub leanings of drummer Frank Byng and the rhythms generated by cheap samplers and drum machines, SNORKEL revel in the joy of psychedelic repetition throwing in elastic interruptions on guitar, analogue and digital synthesisers, trombone, live samples and vocals.
