II by GODTET
Originally released in 2019, GODTET II captured the band in full flow: recorded largely in a single day in Melbourne and rooted in raw improvisation, the album built on the immersive energy of their debut.
Though improvised, the sessions were grounded by a bank of samples curated by Godriguez. Fragments and loops the band used as creative prompts, playing in and around them. The result is a unique hybrid: part producer-led beat tape, part live instrumental record, blurring the boundary between programmed and performed.
Formed by Godriguez, GODTET brings together percussionist Dom Kirk, bassist Jan Bangma, drummer Tully Ryan and pianist Andrew Bruce. GODTET II also features appearances from Simon Mavin (Hiatus Kaiyote) and Ziggy Zeitgeist (30/70), blurring the lines between Sydney and Melbourne’s underground movements.
