Nogroup Lp 26
Something new under the sun? This is certainly that. The sounds: instrumental, crisp, sometimes insectile; organic but not always recognizable - the music: precise, changeable, strongly rhythmical, vaguely Beefheartian and satisfyingly asymmetrical. In short, familiar enough to get on with but essentially working out of a world of its own creation; at once highly organized and recognizably musical. When confronted with something intriguing but unknown in the days of record shops and browsing, one would first check the instrumentation: in this case: Danelectro electric guitar, electro-acoustic guitar, acoustic guitar, kala u-bass, stylophone gen-x-i, saxocorder (alto recorder with saxophone mouthpiece), electrolux horn, muji bed bassdrum, fan heater, claps, shaker, bell stick brushed worktop, cow wall tent, cardboard box, chanter, vox. Anyone looking for something new and unusual, with a strong self-identity, will find it in this highly individual, confident release.
