about

The Incidental Crack are Simon, Rob and Justin, throwing sounds at each other and seeing what sticks.

‘The Incidental Crack Does Nothing’ continues the adventures of before, as previously heard on Before the Magic, Municipal Music and Detail. Field recordings, samples and odd bits of noise were exchanged, messed about with, and passed around, leading to what is featured here.

The Incidental Crack continue to not agree with or support themes for albums. None are present here and nor should they be implied or inferred in any way. Its just some sounds.

The Incidental Crack began with Rob recording himself wandering around in the woods and finding a ‘cave’ - Justin put some weird noises to it, and then Simon joined in. The rest is history.

The Incidental Crack are joined again by Dolly Dolly / David Yates on this album.

“ The sound art produced by Justin
Watson, Rob Spencer and Simon Proffitt
as The Incidental Crack stands out for
its sense of humour. On "A Shitload Of
Rocks", a voice emerges from layers of
rhythm and rushing water to comment
on the treacherous landscape its owner
has braved to capture the sound: "I've
decided to just come up here because I'm
a bit of a moron, who thought what's the
best way to endanger my life? Let's make
some field recordings!". Long stretches
of music you can forget you're listening
to are disrupted by stories about things
like a giant worm made from all the hair in
all the world's sewers rising up against
humanity. The mood is matched by cover
art featuring a photograph of a light
switch labelled "DOES NOTHING" - an
example of the trio's ability to find the
ludicrous in the mundane.”
Emily Pothast, The Wire, June 2022
