ABOUT

Hi. Hello. Welcome.

Natrosol Hydroxyethylcellulose is an industrial food thickener that recieved an unusual amount of television attention during the 1990s, as it was discovered to be very entertaining if you added neon colours to it, poured it over people's heads and then laughed at them.

As Natrosoul I'm looking to do the sonic equivalent: making a thick aural soup of Annoying Technicolour Dance-Rock Splooge and immersing people's ears into it whether they damn well like it or not.

I'd like to make something loud, campy and glammy; like a Disco where they only play sad bangers, where we address the audience as 'darlings' and tell them off for being naughty if they don't dance hard enough.

I have an absolute sh*tload of demos. Not so hot on lyric-writing. But I've got the idea and it'd be a shame not to make anything of it.

Give me a shout if you're curious. Be ready to confuse people. I don't want them to know what hit them ????
