Overview

The first professional recording for the David Mapp Quintet brings the album, On Sex and Suicide – truly original music released from the mind of musician and composer David Mapp.
Contrasting grotesque and visceral imagery with quaint pop melodies, the album explores love, death and sadomasochism in a groundbreaking style. The quintet consists of five now ex students from the University of Hertfordshire who met while they were all studying for music composition and technology degrees at the institution.
