about

Not Quite So is the collaboration of two ageing youngsters: writer/vocalist/talker T Ernest Wilbey, and synthesist/sound designer/actual scientist Janek Hendrich. Formed in a South London pub, since turned into luxury flats.

Initially starting as an instrumental project of techno-not-techno, Tom discovered his voice, with his job as a social worker heavily informing his writing. The new album ’47 Minutes’ observes the exploitation of the vulnerable by county lines gangs, the beleaguered hell of office middle managers, and the ones who fall through the cracks of a system under constant strain. Names ruined by serial killers, and utter fever dream nonsense also feature.


The beauty of Not Quite So is found somewhere between Tom’s day-in-the-life delivery of case worker notes and margin scribbles, and the stark contrast of the sonic world they inhabit. A landscape of glacial slabs of noise, littered with broken, twisted 'found sound', and clattering, sputtering electronic pulses, conjured by Janek's sonic experiments and synthesis improvisations.

Some of the disparate elements have been brought together with the aid of producer, mix engineer, and handsome expert press release writer James Spankie, who offered help in the form of technical knowhow and a critical ear. James came on board after mixing an early NQS gig and recognising their creations stood far from hundreds of other shows he'd worked on, and deserved to be done justice.

For fans of listening to Scott Walker at the wrong speed under fluorescent office lights, playing Arab Strap whilst overdosing on the news cycle, reading Alan Bennett over Blanck Mass. May clear the room at parties.
