Broken Telephone has released a new track entitled ‘Sometimes’ (featuring Kndhrt). Drawing from Jazz, post-punk, Hip Hop, Pop, Ambient music and Electronica, Broken Telephone is the solo project of Cape Town-born musician and poet Neil Büchner Jr; frontman of Cape Town art rock band PXLS, which included members of Sold Ash and Suenos.
Broken Telephone has already garnered EU and US press coverage with less than a handful of singles and zero live performances.
KndHrt is the alias of William Glendinning, South African audio argonaut and Ableton auteur. Known throughout as the warmest heart in the underground scene, check out his self-produced LP ‘Computer Music I’ wherever you listen to good music. It features crazy Cape Town talent.

Eccentric bedroom production partners Neil Büchner Jr and William Glendinning share a recent session mix featuring ghostly vocals attuned from the ether. Divined trip-hop beats break out into the waves with a neo-progressive flair.

From its impulsive origins, the two artists aren’t done. An assemblage of found footage VHS and personal travel recordings highlights the patchwork but profound properties of the track.
The visuals are grotesquely groovy, including footage from the 1997 NYC Thanksgiving parade, ‘The Day Barney was Killed’. Edited by Büchner, watch the accompanying music video below.
