Paul T Kirk – AKA Scottish ex-pat Hiroshima Akatombo – creates a brooding, dense sound of alienation and displacement. It is the sound of machines and computers harnessed to describe an existence in a strange land and entirely modern city, influenced as much by Kirk’s work making short films and visual pieces as any recognisable musical style.
Akatombo released two albums so far - Trace Elements (Swim, 2003) and Unconfirmed Reports (Hand Held Recordings) which landed on 11th place in Pontone’s Top 50 Albums of 2009.
