Listen: Yves Tumor’s Imprint Releases John Bence’s Kill

Last year, Knoxville native Yves Tumor quietly launched an intriguing new imprint, the label Grooming. Over the summer, Grooming issued Kill, a haunting three-track meditation by British producer John Bence that sold out in a flash for good reason. Choral incantations hang eerily above drone murmurs, while percussion and grunts flash through the mix like scare tactics. You can hear it on Soundcloud, and, thanks to a new pressing, pick it up on vinyl, too. Here’s how to pick up the record.
