We’re a little late with Episode 04 of The Scratch Cast but it’s finally here for your listening pleasure.

On this episode, we do a quick re-cap of Yammerer’s EP since Grant didn’t listen to the whole thing last time and Snedds kept getting the name of the EP wrong…true professionals.

We also review “Shlagenheim”, the debut album from avant-garde prog-rockers “Black Midi” (a band we’d both decided were shit without giving them a proper chance), “Alter Nature”, the third album from sci-fi hardcore outfit “Bats”, “Critical Method”, the debut album from Belgian noise makers “Stake” (or the fifth album from “Stake Number Eight”, depending on how you look at it) and finally “Ghosteen”, the seventeenth album from “Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds”.
