In addition to the albums Sunbutler and Joemus both produced in-conjunction with Edinburgh's anti-Morrissey Nick Currie aka Momus (Creation Records/Analog Baroque).

Joe currently plays saxophone in a new band called Banana Oil, that sound something like 'The Mothers of Invention without all the toxic masculinity', they have a cassette recently released on Winning Sperm Party.


"A refreshing mix of all these influences: It's got heavy bass, juicy funk, slomo skweee tempos and charming synth work."
Alexander Horne (Resident Advisor)

"So I'm eager to check out what he's all about. Seems the answer to that is bouncing about like an emo off his ritalin while making a racket like a blender full of frogs being hurled down some stairs. It's rather impressive. Of course, being such a sharp hipster, Germlin eschews the constraints of the stage preferring to perform on ground level with the audience. As a result, I can't make out what he's doing to cause the noise. And, I'm fascinated to know how."
Tony Kiernan (Is This Music?)
