Label Description: Tibshelf bring a new album to Cruel Nature: The Effete Descendants Of Robber Barons Are Poison To Civilisation.

The result of infinite splicing and pasting, The Effete Descendants.. is a layered cake of charred beats, morphing time and ecstatic repetition. The album channels both the Dusseldorf and the Jamaica of the 1970’s alongside vintage EDM, dancehall, the lyrical lament of Remains and the avalanching angst-pop of McBride. While tracks You Better and McBride might aggravate rhythmic norms, Champs and I Do Like A travel direct, the album veering from disorientation to frazzled urgency in reflection of the producer’s erratic brain.

The words to McBride are adapted from the novel A Girl Is A Half-Formed Thing by Eimear McBride.

Produced in Newcastle, 2024-26.

Mastered by Dominic Clare at Declared Sound.
