The Hunter Gracchus

Sheffield-based improvised/psych/out unit. The Hunter Gracchus is a trio featuring Jon and Fiona who run the Singing Knives imprint alongside Syed Kamran Ali (aka Harappian Night Recordings). The sound is kinda similar to Part Wild Horses Mane On Both Sides in that the group play free-jazz influenced fourth world trance music using percussion, strings, small instruments and crude folk melodies, though the overall sound has more to do with the kinda abstruse post-punk strategies of ensembles like The No-Neck Blues Band.

Artery

This article describes Artery (UK), Artery (BG), and Artery (US). An article for Artery (GER) hasn't been written yet.
1.Artery were one of the most important and influential bands in the UK's post-punk scene, though they didn't sell many records and are often overlooked in pop histories. They were based in Sheffield UK, and between 1978 and 1985 recorded three studio albums, one live album, and a few singles. Their gigs were riotous. They defined the post-industrial outlook that Human League and Cabaret Voltaire adopted. They were the reason Jarvis Cocker decided to become a pop star.
