About Chosen Charity:
"we have added scientific enquiry, economic analysis and hands-on conservation to the RSPB’s ways of working.
So today, our campaigning is underpinned by expert analysis, practical demonstration and conservation delivery, and an appreciation of the views and concerns of our members, supporters and the wider public - but we campaign as vigorously as we always did to ensure the next generation can enjoy wildlife as we do."
• TAUPE • (Minority Records) • Glasgow-Based •
Taupe’s concoction of free(math)avant(skronk) shifts between sour sonics, effervescent improvisations and sludgy doom-laden riffs. This Glasgow-based trio wield an almost spooky telekinesis, veering into taut metronomic precision from turbulent & unwieldy chaos.
Ever-informed by a DIY ethos, there is a wonky charm to Taupe’s music, bridging the nostalgic no-wave disorder of DNA or James Chance with the squeaky-clean precision of contemporary groups like goat (jp) or Horse Lords. Their performances rumble and pulse with a fun anarchic spirit which takes any pretensions or self-seriousness out to the woodshed.
It’s no wonder that their exhilarating sense of discovery has won them support from the likes of BBC 6 Music’s Freak Zone and BBC Radio 3’s Late Junction and Freeness, as well as appearances at festivals including REWIRE in the Hague and support slots with acts such as Deerhoof, Richard Dawson & Circle and Melt Banana.
