FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Glim Records presents new "Covert EP" by Testube

   After a long hiatus, Jeff Danos aka TESTUBE returns from the outer limits of electro with the Covert EP, an intriguing approach at vocal-driven "experimental pop". Inspired by classic post-punk and dream pop flavors, as well as edgy contemporary electroclashers like The Faint and Goldfrapp, the act's new EP is the second release made available by the recently formed independent label GLIM RECORDS.

   Intermittently composting abstract rhythms and industrial glitch sampling into a slightly more accessible framework of dark electro-pop, the Covert EP serves as an appropriate teaser for an upcoming TESTUBE full length in 2009.

A few words from Jeff Danos of Testube...

Everybody is always asking me who my influences are. Normally, I say that there are far too many to list.
