The Song of Rubber and Fur is a messed-up drive-in in a busted old car, where subwoofers groan, roadkill twitches and both animal and machine turn feral and deranged. The doors are open, the exhaust is smoking and the dark is full of desires. Seatbelts optional. The possums are watching.

FILTH is Andrea Meacham, Anna Schwann, Lewis Gittus and Sarah Walker. We work across sound, video, installation and sculpture, making works that sit in the realm of the strange, the sloppy, the spooky and the surreal. We draw ravenously from high and low culture: from Gothic literature, schlock cinema and messed up televisual nostalgia to the occult, the inane, the operatic and the obscene.
