about
“In Filipino folk culture, the Mangkukulam is a practitioner of low magic or sorcery. This song was one of the first few written after finding bass player, Daniel. We were aiming to take the rhythmically tribal drive from a few of our previous songs and concentrate that into a mostly instrumental, dark and ritualistic piece of music. This was the first song featuring the clang of a found metal bar, which is used sparingly on the upcoming LP. Expect more tribalesque toms and a completely instrumental track on the album. We use "Mangkukulam" often as an opening song for live sets, and it felt natural being first on the new record.” - Egrets on Ergot
It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days.
Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
