A debut release from deepest Moscow's most intriguing producer – Zurkas Tepla's double sided, dual-colour cassette is a murky concept piece about a bank robbery, loosely based on Nezumi-Kozo (nicknamed 'Jirokichi the Rat'), an ancient Japanese thief and folk hero. Exploring disintegrating electronics, blurry samples and negative space beats, 'Bank Robber's immersive world encapsulates the wild paranoia, heightened headspace and messy adrenaline myth-making of a heist in first person.
