Zachary Utz Value Plush Cassette

Value Plush is the Ehse debut for Baltimore-based musician Zachary Utz. Utz has released several cassettes on other labels, most notably Baltimore-based Player Press and Chicago-based Patient Sounds. Although primarily known for his noise-laden, aggressive guitar work in the bands Dope Body (Drag City Record) and Scroll Downers (Ehse Records) Utz’s solo music largely eschews stringed instrumentation in favor of a more synthesized, lo-fi tape, sound design approach. Value Plush is a further continuation of this style though it sees Utz moving more into a realm of higher sonic fidelity.
