Skantagio (Clear LP)

Squanderers return to deliver Skantagio, the follow up to their debut album, If a Body Meet a Body (Shimmy-Disc, 2024). “We were in the studio for one day, and performed all pieces on that first LP prior to breaking for lunch. Skantiago contains the pieces we performed after lunch,” says bassist and Shimmy-Disc founder, Kramer. “We may be Squanderers, but we don’t dally. And we don’t labour over our spontaneous inventions while we’re in the studio.”“What we’re left with is not so much a pristine work of collective genius as a testament to the transcendence that can occur when a group of individual geniuses sit down together with no greater aim than melding their minds for a while. If only all our squanderings could be so fruitful.” - Pitchfork (If a Body Meet a Body album review, 7.7)“Squanderers’ music pivots around improvisation, and shockingly little was decided in advance of their convening; Kramer, Wendy, and David came to the group’s assembling with the confidence of what would be would be, que sera sera. You couldn’t divine these results.” - Ghettoblaster Magazine“The band don’t play it safe, and thank god for that. This isn’t a band that needs to prove anything to anyone. They’re out there doing their thing, untethered and unpredictable.” - Psychedelic Baby Magazine
