Martha and Jessica Kilpatrick (aka Waterbaby) had a creative upbringing in South London -- spending their days singing in Southwark Cathedral Choir or experimenting with recording ideas onto cassette tapes, such as trying to make their out-of-tune family piano and a flute sound like an electric guitar. Eventually settling together in an attic flat in Peckham, the sisters became quiet, mystical forces in the underground London scene, emerging in and out of the sanctuary of their studio to perform their hypnotic live show with artists as varied as Kedr Livansky, James K, TAAHLIAH, and Dorian Electra. The sisters' insular and feminine sonic world showcases inventive song structures backed by dizzying layers of production -- all crafted on their stash of lost and found analogue gear in their South East London studio, squashed between Hyperdub's headquarters and a mechanic's garage. In a world where the analogue and the digital seem to be in constant headlock, Waterbaby effortlessly solve the equation -- operating in a space where Cocteau Twins-esque anachronism meets the sharper edge of contemporary experimental electronica.
