Are the members of Dancer the hardest working people in Glasgow? Probably not seeing as Glasgow is a salt-of-the-earth working city. But they might be one of the hardest working bands in Glasgow. Dancer have been putting out music at a breakneck pace since 2023. But members are also in many other bands.
The Chop is a "side project" band of Gemma Fleet and Andrew R. Doig (wife/husband duo in Dancer). They were apparently inspired to go duo after seeing fellow Glaswegian band Guests and "were inspired by the economical set-up used."
Fleet and Doig are in various other bands besides Dancer and The Chop: Nightshift, Current Affairs, and Order of the Toad. The Chop tends to sound more like Young Marble Giants crossed with all their other bands. There is definitely a minimalist feel to their music.
This is released on cassette by Wrong Speed Records which was just mentioned last month when we posted about that amazing Mute Servants 7".
