Mermaid Chunky are an audio visual duo made up of artists Freya Tate and Moina Moin. Beavering in the endless baths of electronic chaos at all times, the duo boasts a bouquet of pumping trance rhythms, sad Easter time chicks and seriously arousing sax solos.
Their sound is inspired by folklore and contemporary kitsch ceremony, helping them exorcise the weight of Popey pagan guilt that they both felt from a young age. The duo have become renowned for their large-scale contemporary art events and ambitious artist collaborations. Last year they hosted the largest ever dog wedding in the south-west. With a mixed audience of humans and dogs, Morris dancers, shadow puppets, virgin bitchmaids and a dog pastor flew in all the way from Vegas. It certainly wasn’t a modest affair. All tracks recorded and produced by Capitol K at the Total Refreshment Centre, London.Artists in residence at SVA, Stroud, Gloucesershire.
