Goudron is a brand new signing for IT (thanks to Ersatz Audio shutting down). In this EP, Detroit musician and visual artist Ron Zakrin shows that he is truly the King of the synth riffs, with music that is wholly synthetic, yet with all the energy of pure Detroit rock.

When we first met Ron he was using a toy robot as an efx processor. His machine mangling and circuit bending have never stopped, only multiplied into a very unique live rig and recording studio. From the music to the art on the sleeves it is all hand made. Ron is like Buckminster Fuller trapped inside the body of a character from SE Hinton's Over the Edge. Raw power.

Watch for this EP in a limited edition hand screened (by the artist) sleeve this spring, with a full length to follow in the fall... DIY or die...
