HeCTA is new project feature some familiar faces.

A number of members of genial Americana types Lambchop have banded together to focus on something rather more different, rather more electronic.

Kurt Wagner, Scott Martin and Ryan Norris have crafted a series of curious synthesiser nuggets, oddball gems which zip and veer at their own pace.

Kurt explains: "This music is our attempt to extend the boundaries of our expression and have some fun. It's not Americana, house, techno, trap, juke, or blaze. Why would it be? And like any good diet, it will be reviled then ultimately loved by all who give it a chance to work its way into their lives."

Debut album 'The Diet' is out on September 18th via City Slang, offering laid back sounds with a techno glaze. Elements of Lambchop remain, but – realistically – 'The Diet' profiles these musicians in a stunningly new light.

Kurt Wagner: "As HeCTA, we take our approach seriously and are respectfully aware of the great electronic music created throughout its history continuing into the present—so much so that when it came time to mix these recordings, we reached out to some of the central figures of the genre. Such greats as Morgan Geist, John McEntire, and Q all had a hand in shaping the refined sound we present to you. With invaluable creativity and engineering by Jeremy Ferguson at Battle Tapes in Nashville, we together created what we consider to be a collection of songs that move and move through you, from the dashboard to the dance floor, from Decatur to Dornburg, from Dorchester to Detroit."
