ARTHUR KING PRESENTS A GRAPE DOPE: BACKYARD BANGERS | VINYL RECORD (LP) S From the first note thereVinyl LP pressing. A Grape Dope (John Herndon of Tortoise)'s installment in our Arthur King Presents experimental album series. Herndon describes it as "a collage of sounds found and recorded in various places and in various ways and then glued together with some rhythm, some space, melody, harmony, noise," adding, "I hope it reads like a slice of my record collection hip hop, punk, disco jazz, metal, noise, house, techno, comedy, various others."
