He uses a psychelic wall of guitar noise, with added beeps, clicks and synthesised noises as a means of imposing a specific anarchaic regime, known as Unit Sevenism, on the planet Earth. Be warned, however: he strips this noise down to it's bare nuts and bolts when playing modified noise before a live audience of Earth creatures. He promises to remove your ears and fill your brain with pink light using only the bare simplicity of his tunes, which he will deliver using just his voice and his trusty red electric space guitar. Dislocation, either solo or as a band, will be releasing it's 1st commerical music drop in September 2006. Keep looking up. Current Dislocation influences include: Antartica, Audio Karate, Colder, The Cure, Death In Vegas, The Flaming Lips, Jorge Ben Jr., M83, My Bloody Valentine, Red House Painters.
