Its a.P.A.t.T.

a.P.A.t.T. are an English art collective best known for its avant-garde music and multimedia works.

Since their first release, (e.P.) in 2002 a.P.A.t.T. has released 7 albums, numerous singles, endless music videos and short films, received commissions from a Smörgåsbord of leading arts organisations, made a full feature film and even starred and composed for a BBC TV Sitcom.

a.P.A.t.T. and its nomenclature began with a master tape of ‘anyone in the room’ recordings made at the dawn of the Mini-Disc 4 track era around 1998/99..the music was collage in a way and potentially influenced the non-linear ‘genre-less’ approach and sidestepped into the somewhat anti-hierarchical line-up of the act.

The last album Fun with Music (2016) sees the band more refined and focussed than ever...”Their most accessible work yet..in a freaky kinda way.” says BBC's Stuart Maconie.  Consider it their White Album.  “a.P.A.t.T.'s suitably madcap musical mix lives up to its title and is the definition of the word 'progressive' with a quintessentially British humour” (Prog Magazine)

Upset the Rhythm describe a.P.A.t.T. as

"Going through a constant evolution of hardware and software changes, the group fuses mathy, synth-led moments with almost Klezmery freak-outs rendered in accordion, strings, brass and piano. Think the missing link between The Locust, Danielson Famile and A Hawk and A Hacksaw and you may be getting close!"

"a.P.A.t.T. are a motherfucking experience. Probably the only UK band i can think of to come up with their vision of the dark, vicious and fuck me, rather scary vision of the ACID PUNK dropped onto us from the visions of Gibby from the Butthole Surfers. We love them. You need to hear this. It's insane" -Alan Mcgee - Creation/Poptones
