Video Premiere: EGRETS ON ERGOT + Post-Punk

"Los Angeles based experimental art-punk group Egrets On Ergot reveal their turbulent cover of The Normal’s classic Mute Records track “T.V. O.D.”—a song featured on Daniel Miller’s inaugural label and artist single release—along with “Warm Leatherette”. Both songs were groundbreaking classics in minimal synth, taken inspiration from the J.G. Ballard novel Crash."
–Post-Punk

The new Egrets on Ergot video, "T.V. O.D.," premieres today via Post-Punk:

Egrets on Ergot are totally merciless LA underground mainstays erring on the more caustic edge of the post-punk spectrum, and their saxy, serrated polemics are a classic Angeleno addendum to Bat Cave-era Britain.

Video is directed by Jenny Nirgends, a multi-media artist and filmmaker from LA.

This cover, along with an original track, will be available soon on X-RAY flexi disc 7″ with Blank City Records, as well as digitally via Bandcamp.
