Cleft? What?
Cleft were a turbo-prog two-piece band from Manchester who formed in 2011 due to a shared love of falafel.
We split up in 2016, with a final show at ArcTanGent festival and a tour of the UK.
We made horrible instrumental music using a guitar and some drums. Imagine a machine that compresses 14 minute songs down to 3 minutes.
