Sinkcharmer is the solo project of Paul Coleman (Architrave, Mount Mole). Started in 1993 as a lo-fi 4-track project Paul began cranking out songs on cassette as Alger Hiss. Then in 1996 while driving to work in Durham, NC he saw a license plate that read SNKCHRMR. It was misread as Sinkcharmer and the name was set. The first official Sinkcharmer release (The Old Man Doesn't Like It) compiled work from 1993-1998 and was released as a CD-R on Spare Me Records. Friends were recruited for live shows in a lineup that lasted between late 2000 and early 2004. Vegetable Farmer was released in 2007 as a purely studio affair. At this point Sinkcharmer morphed into Mount Mole for 2 albums and odds and ends. Same project, different name. In 2017 Sinkcharmer release an album (Double Free or Corruption) ending a 10 year hiatus for the project. Several EP's and singles after that are based on a one-person live looping and beats setup that can be best described as interlocked loop jams.
