Sounds Like
“distant dogs, birds, footsteps and the beating air. A clicking follows, a toy piano or music box seems to crank the birds and layers into greater intensity, the humming and hissing reflective of a radioactive naturestrip, the sound of hissing lawn, a wall of sound builds itself around all this like a hedgerow of thorns. Stern's violin atonally overtones its way through the hedge like an unhinged door of cutting shears. The overall volume subsides with haunted gut-string scrapings. Traffic noise wells up in a blurred manner. A girl's voice sings in the wet streets, a car door slams, sonar atmosphere ebbs and flows. Stern's trumpet bugle is attacked with ray gun as mute - is this Armageddon after the rain?” - Anonymous review

That was the best ad i've ever seen. Complete with beer, a wall of Moogs, and a bitchin' moustache. Amazing. I just finished another video thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvRkzKdkrkQ

OUR LOVE WILL DESTROY THE WORLD / BARK HAZE split 7" $15NZ postpaid
Thus sayeth the dudes at Krayon... "Campbell Kneale moves ever closer to the glistening, levitation altar, with backwards bliss-shimmer, spooked chant and analogue squawk and squeal, kaleidoscoping around triumphant snare punctuation. Bark Haze hit back with focused power-drone guitar duelling from the heart of the bong, smoking out into tunnel-visoned, crumbled-amp chunder. Artwork by Campbell Kneale/Kim Gordon". But I say bullsheet senor... my side kills My Bloody Valentine with an elephant gun and stitches up the headwound with nifty silver thread in patterns that resemble fornicating deer, and Bark Haze blow the mong outta deep space with guitars the size of those fruity lookin' trumpets that yodelling Swiss goatherders play. Total supreme rule-age over space and time and little furry things the universe over. All shall kneel and know that I am home like usual. No wait, hang on...

Hey joel, hows things. I heard that audiopollen is putting on a grand entertainment...and if possible I have been putting together an experimental surf jungle band, and we'd love to play! It's called 'the swamplords' and in my friends list, though the recordings are two years old and were done in one afternoon by meyself. We also have a show coming up in march, and will rehearse soon if you wanted to check us out. byesirbye
