Fashion Flesh is the solo-output moniker of John Talaga, based in Bay City, USA, who had a 7-inch on Detroit’s Est. ’83 Records.

.
He should have been in the Radiophonic Workshop, but he was in the wrong place, wrong decade. Instead, ‘Withdrawn’ comes as his first full-length album and makes up for the perfect introduction to Talaga’s synthesis of original and plasticized melodic collages, birthed from the guts of hand built exotic electronics and various audio devices — built from one’s own design and heavily modified beyond audible recognition or return. From torn memories of pleasant dreams to plasticine free jazz sculptures, wavey electro cuts squealing like rubber tyres and pop hallucinations, Fashion Flesh highlights the beauty of confusion and anxiety throughout the breathing and illusive meanderings of his tape manipulations and hard copy cut-ups.
