Rat Catching

Rat Catching, aka Jennifer Melinn, gathers her inspiration from the darker, twisted sides of synth and a deep seeded love of horror films. Using her complete lack of musical training to her advantage, she manages to confidently piece together unpredictable noises and sounds to create satisfyingly full layers of drone, distortion and measured cacophony. Her work has been described as having a nasty edge, and as “slow-roasted, doomsday synth action that—if there’s any justice—will be playing when the world slowly, painfully disappears into a black hole.”
