Recorded March-April 2020 at abcdefg

"Whirling dispatches from the edge of trashland! A slice of broked up, slapped about, chopped and stir fried clatter crunk from Territorial Gobbing.

The only T.G you need in THESE TIMES. Side A pure psyche demolition (Netflix-style baby). Sinews of feedback, warbling synth tones and the banshee screams of falling satellites hit the fan all over. Temple Disco rewritten for the new breed, sliced and diced vocals battle to the death in the dying days of clockwork carnival.

Haunted / hunted Kabuki slime comic strip collapse. Full colour, double-sided, pro-printed plague-time artwork by Zad Kokar. Limited to some copies." - BTR

Churned out electronic guff, youtube video shortcut twitch, record player waggle etc. Trying to combine pure uncontrolled electricity-as-audio with clean vocal schlopp-chops for the purposes of....err......umm................making power pathectronics for a Looney Tunes special

Track 1 is a shoutout to your neighbour who noticed you went to the shops twice today it seems

Track 2 is a shoutout to George W Bush, I guess

Track 3 is a shoutout to the guy at The Golden Lion in Todmorden who tried to start a fight with me over my jacket

Track 4 is a shoutout to brushing your stubble with a toothbrush

Track 5 is a shoutout to the soundguy

Track 6 is a shoutout to YOU! Yes! You can have this one...

Track 7 is a shoutout to the Odie J Ghast Beartown album I was attempting to rip off here

"I almost didn’t check out Police Costume because I had the audacity to believe I knew exactly what to expect from Theo Gowans’s prolific Territorial Gobbing project. This was a poor instinct, and luckily one I didn’t end up following. Sure, there are the typical irreverent gargles and rough-edged collaging one (quickly) grows to love, but overall the Leeds art brut master’s response to the absurdity of authoritarian, militaristic police is a uniquely colorful affair, matching the bright, saturated cartoon cover penned by Zad Kokar. “…Or How I Learnt to Stop Sitting on Benches and Love the Cops” is a surprisingly focused bit of noise, and its vivid, vibrant palette of whipping electronics and malfunctioning circuits serves as one of the most exemplary contradictions of the established TG formula I thought I had all figured out. On the next two tracks Gowans falls further back into his bag of tricks, yet keeps the energy level high with hyperactive re-arrangements and an unsettling amount of volatile, deranged anger behind every saliva-splattering utterance. Something else added is the increased presence of intelligible spoken word, which somehow only seems to add to the confusion and delirium of the proceedings (especially in the case of whatever one? two? three? -sided conversation is happening on “Mic Check One”). Don’t make the same I mistake I almost did. When Territorial Gobbing is involved—in the words of Wakaliwood—”EXPECT DA UNEXPECTABLE.” " - Noisenotmusic
