This is the cover for Son Ambulance's new record entitled Someone Else's Deja Vu. I play bass on the track Wild Roses and am now a full time member of the band. I am so pleased and honored to be a part of this record and band. Joe and Jeff, the main folks behind the album really turned out a minor masterpiece here in my honest opinion. Please give it a listen and check us out on tour this summer. www.sonambulance.com/

(D)(B)(H) - "not all girls just wanna have fun" c40 TAPE "skirting the line between commune-psych excess(es - i’m implicitly
reminded of the swedish early 70s wave - international harvester, et.al
- but also contemporary hydra-headed beasts like sapat) & a kind of
desultory group-mind version of the freewheeling fire music, this music
takes in a lot of disparate influences yet stays on target
throughout... this tape features a bunch of shorter tracks; each living
it’s own fidelity/soundworld, each edited to provide the “meat” of each
given session / lineup without too much in the way of “filler”;
something a rarity in these days of endless “fill the void”
documentation... free and focused extended-jams courtesy of this rag-tag collective from bloomington, indiana. recorded in 2007
& 2008, involving: justin rhody, clare hubbard, keith wright, jail
flanagan, jeff witscher, dave easlick, tricky matt, kray fanny, greg
blakemore, dorey fox, chris barth and more. recorded live (no
overdubs) onto a small one track thrift store tape deck. tribal and
bizarre, not quite fitting into any of the pre-charted territories..."
released throughRARE YOUTH recordings (www.rareyouth.org) available through:rare youth, friends & relatives, forced exposure, mimaroglu music, molehill, armageddon and volcanic tongue...
$7 ppd in the U.S.A.
