Inspiration can strike anyone at any time, and more often than not from somewhat peculiar quarters. Rarely more so than when Sam Grant - thus far best known as guitarist and producer of Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs - finally set about work on a solo project that had been pursuing him for some years. InchI want people to imagine that feeling of rubber - it's physical memory, the unnatural vibe of it. It's so tactile but alien. It's an odd analogy, but that's what this music is for me. InchA specific gravity is one more property that rubber has going for it, and that much is certainly true of Rubber Oh's debut album 'Strange Craft', the result of his elasticated fixation, and his debut album of deliriously tuneful sci-fi tinged psychpop. It's a unique soundworld in which an emphasis on beguiling melody marries a kaleidoscopic grandeur.

Ultimately, for Grant as well as everyone else, Rubber Oh amounts to one strange trip - InchMany of the lyrics are about alchemy, journeying and vessels, as interchangeable metaphors for knowledge and wisdomInch he says. InchI wanted to mesh the land and sea, the cosmos and the psyche across the tracks as one single planeInch Mission accomplished, in short.
