### **Inca Babies’ Harry Stafford and trash blues guitarist Marco Butcher take us on a ‘Walk Among The Spectres’, previewing new album**

_“Unapologetically weaving their way through varied genres, Stafford and Butcher’s
bluesy story-based music is raw around the edges, while sucking you willingly inside–
a sonic diamond in the rough, so to speak”_ ~ **The Spill Magazine**

_“The symmetry between the two artists is remarkable… refreshing, meshing the grit
of blues with an urban thematic. This is dirty but agreeable… Goes down smooth like
a good shot of bourbon”_ ~ **Big Takeover Magazine**

coming this autumn via **Black Lagoon Records**.

‘Walk Among the Spectres’ is a cool piece of walking blues, with percussive Hammond
organ and Marco Butcher’s laconic backbeat. The song is about an old friend who 
is fondly remembered and, in the video, our hero travels across town to put an electric
piano-keyboard on his grave, discovering his own fragile mortality along the way.

Directed by Harry Stafford with cinematography by **J.P. Conway**, this video was
filmed in the expansive Southern Cemetery in Didsbury South Manchester, which dates
back to 1700 and was used throughout the Victorian era. Now a public park, people
are invited to wander among the tombstones… to literally Walk among the Spectres.

Following the resounding triumph of their[ **‘Bone Architecture’ album**](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fharrystafford.bandcamp.com%2falbum%2fbone%2darchitecture&umid=b2d2df30-a049-4fab-9b5e-d3c34a061c86&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-dc6cfe93c387928f6b8cdb09f292d2d2f44ca027)
in 2021, the duo present the second chapter of this exploration, upholding their
lockdown-inspired tradition of sending ideas back and forth between North Carolina
and Manchester. Creating this album unconsciously – perhaps even telepathically –
their musical connection has ignited this album with an infectious energy and spirit.

Based in North Carolina, Brazil-raised trash blues guitarist **Marco Butcher (Jam
Messengers, Jesus and the Groupies) **provides a solid backbeat, jumping with a 
frenetic rhythm. This foundation ranges from a mess of blues to a stumbling electro
beat with Dwayne Eddie funeral guitar. His forages into dance and Hip hop see him
mess with the rhythmic DNA, often inspiring the creation of a new dance shuffle 
at will.

“I have discovered that I spend a lot of my time knowing what I don’t want to sound
like. My musical education began with punk and then, when I came to University in
Manchester in the early 80s, I found myself submerged into the strange beat infused
darkness of the Big city post punk music scene (Joy Division, ACR, The Fall) and
I had to form the Inca Babies to make sense of it all,” says **Harry Stafford**.

“Now 40 years later, while I have never forgotten that seismic guidance, my interests,
and influence stretch so far, I need someone like Marco to constantly surprise me.”
