clipping. 'Wriggle (Expanded)'
The clipping. EP 'Wriggle' finally arrives on vinyl, featuring expanded artwork, unreleased remixes, and an exclusive track. Originally a 2016 digital-only EP, 'Wriggle' compiled six tracks that didn’t make the cut for their 2014 debut, 'CLPPNG'. One standout, “Shooter,” was built entirely from the sounds of fifteen different guns, transforming raw firepower into percussive intensity. The verses subverted “hashtag rap,” replacing braggadocio with stark narratives of violence. “Hot Fuck No Love” features one of the most explicit verses from New Jersey rapper Cakes Da Killa, pushing the group's boundary-pushing ethos even further.
The title track, “Wriggle", reimagines Whitehouse’s power-electronics song “Wriggle Like a Fucking Eel” into a dance-floor banger, blending harsh noise with clipping.'s signature sound. Both “Wriggle” and “Shooter” have become staples of their live performances, solidifying their cult status. With this long-awaited vinyl release, clipping. offers both longtime fans and newcomers—many drawn in by their acclaimed 2020 album 'Visions of Bodies Being Burned' and Daveed Diggs’ rising acting career—a definitive edition of 'Wriggle', fulfilling years of demand.
