[NAFH32] MATT McDOWELL - Headlong Into The Fire 3"

$8.00ppd (U.S.)

$10.00ppd (Non-U.S.)

McDowell's most recent solo outing finds him honing his vision to form an extended composition incorporating layers of electronics, organ, bells, free drumming and a healthy dose of acid-fried guitar. Elements of early minimalism, musique concrete (ala Richard Maxfield, etc.), and the Neil Young/Loren Mazzacane Connors school of guitar playing combine to create a deep listening exercise akin to waking up on fire to find yourself lost at sea.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[NAFH31] ALEXANDER TURNQUIST - Sleep Chapter 3"

$8.00ppd (U.S.)

$10.00ppd (Non-U.S.)

A dense layer of acoustic drone that slowly develops, shifts, and collides with itself around the distant sound of a flowing river. Alexander hails from Eastern Idaho and spent much of his youth developing an appreciation for the rugged mountains and forests that surrounded him. Of equal inspiration were his parents, his father being an accomplished guitarist and his mother a photographer with an eye for nature.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[NAFH30] KOHOUTEK - Expansive Headache CD

$10.00ppd (U.S.)

$13.00ppd (Non-U.S.)

Washington DC-based experimental collective Kohoutek plays improvised psychedelia, ranging from unsettling, discordant noise to delicate melodies, inspired by the likes of Can/Amon Duul 2/Agitation Free/Ash Ra Tempel/Krautrock, Trad Gras Och Stenar/Parson Sound, Dead C, Skullflower, Sun City Girls, Sonic Youth, Bardo Pond, Ghost/White Heaven/Japanese psych, Sun Ra/Art Ensemble/free jazz, early Pink Floyd, MBV/shoegaze, drone, doom/sludge metal, etc. Expansive Headache is the band's first official CD, following two self-released recordings (Kohoutek and The Trails of Kohoutek), Hair on the Sidewalk, a DVD/CDR on Sockets, and a collaborative CDR with Soil Sing Through Me (members of Sunburned Hand of the Man/Feathers/Witch) on Wabana. (Co-released with The Music Fellowship). -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[NAFH29] THE CUTEST PUPPY IN THE WORLD - Apotrope 2CDR

$12.00ppd (U.S.)

$15.00ppd (Non-U.S.)

The Cutest Puppy in the World is Bryan Rhodes (of Baltimore) and Layne Garrett (of Washington, DC). We explore emergent forms, extremes of saturated and empty space, scorched remnants of that tune you've been humming for three days. We play electric piano, analog synthesizer, combo organ, guitars, found-object percussion, thumb piano, bass clarinet, Styrofoam, whatever is within reach. Their music is all improvised.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[NAFH28] ERIC CARBONARA - This May Be The End/Long Hallway, Three Slightly Open Doors 3"

$8.00ppd (U.S.)

$10.00ppd (Non-U.S.)

This May Be The End is a tapestry of intricately repeating guitar phrases woven into layers of interlocking, syncopated, phase in/phase out patterns...a melodic rhythm that will keep your head bobbing as much as spinning. Melodic lines (often expressed through layered ebows) enter as quickly as they depart, leaving no central theme except the interlocking Reichian pattern. This may be the end feels almost like two pieces of music with a bridge of synthesized waves between the two patterns, the latter being a more subtle come down to the vortex of chaotic bliss in the first section.

$13.00ppd (Non-U.S.)

{NAFH 026} Mike Tamburo and Wilson Lee- Boyinger - Double 3"

[NAFH25] ANDY FUTREAL - Like Twilight Bleeding 3"

$8.00ppd (U.S.)

$10.00ppd (Non-U.S.)

A collection of three pieces on acoustic guitar recorded at home on three different evenings in the fall of 2006. Two pieces, "like twilight bleeding" and "kaftan" were single improvised takes recorded direct to two-track. The first stretches out in the evening light from a brief series of high notes to explore a central theme - breaking, scattering and ultimately reforging it; the latter piece is shorter and frenetic -- maybe catching a thread of older musics from parts east. The third piece, "ghosts of twilight", recorded onto a rickety old 4 track cassette with acoustic guitar and ebow, brings shades of "like twilight bleeding" back to creak and howl as things wind down some time past midnight. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{NAFH 024} Mike Tamburo and Matt Mcdowell - God Will Fail John's Horn 3"

$8.00ppd (U.S.)

$10.00ppd (Non-U.S.)

Mike Tamburo and Matt Mcdowell have been playing together since 1999. First in Arco Flute Foundation and then as a duo. This is a piece dedicated to John Fail utilizing piano guts and electronics to create a beautiful and often terrifying piece of 21st century composition.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NAFH ROBERT HORTON - Sleep, Wake, Hope, and Then CD

$12.00ppd (U.S.)

$15.00ppd (Non-U.S.)

Sleep, Wake, Hope, and Then are the most recent pieces by Robert Horton, striving to create an album full of recordings that shimmer and change the light. Horton has performed and recorded for almost 30 years in a variety of outlets. He founded the Appliances, part of SF's first wave of punk bands in 1979, and formed the tribal noise drone group Plateau Ensemble in 1983. Since then, he has been a prominent contributor to the last two revolutions in home recording, both the cassette culture of the 80s and 90s and the CDR zeitgeist of the 00s. Robert records under his own name, Egghatcher, and Future Ears. He is currently a member of Kyrgyz, Beautiful Friend, Infinite Article, Broken Mask, and a duo with Tom Carter. Co-released with New American Folk Hero.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[NAFH 22] THE NORTH SEA - In The Time Of The Sugar Pines

$10.00ppd (U.S.)

$13.00ppd (Non-U.S.)

In the burgeoning underground psych, folk, and noise movement, The North Sea ís Brad Rose serves as both one of its biggest champions and contributors. His Digitalis Industries imprint, 160+ release strong Foxglove CDR series, and Foxy Digitalis online magazine have not just pushed forward but unearthed many unknown, remote artists in the genre and helped create and extend the community. Brad has been making his own music since the mid 90s and has been a member of such bands as the Juniper Meadows, the Golden Oaks, and the Cone Bearers. The North Sea is his solo experimental / ambient / improvisational folk music project and, like much of the folk music in the movement, looks to bring together the style of folk music with the feeling, sound, and aura of nature. In this project, Rose mixes nature field recordings - birds, air and leaves - with a wide variety of stringed instruments. In the Times of the Sugar Pines stands as Brad's last predominantly folk recording under The North Sea name as he continues to search and expand his sound into more abstract realms. This exploration can be heard on the album as the sound carries a more ethnic European feel on several tracks, bringing out darker tones and more impassioned playing, creating a wonderful bridge between his old sound and new. (Co-released With The Music Fellowship). -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{NAFH21] DROOPY SEPTUM - Howling Lands, Whispering Leaves CDR $10.00ppd (U.S.) $13.00ppd (Non-U.S.) Droopy Septum is the solo project and sound creations of Edinboro Pennsylvania's Ryan Emmett. His sonic explorations range from minimal drones to harsh noise to carefully constructed sonic landscapes.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{NAFH 020} Nux - The Signal CD

$10.00ppd (U.S.)

$13.00ppd (Non-U.S.)

Matt Mcdowell (Portland, Oregon) was a former member of Arco Flute Foundation. He currently plays with Brave Priest, The Amazing Trapeze and releases many duo recordings with Mike Tamburo. Before recording The Signal, Mcdowell spent the better part of 3 weeks staring closed eyes at the sun, flickering his fingers in front of his eyes, making predictions of the coming apocalypse and then recorded this as its soundtrack, Mcdowell delivers one of the most brutal guitar recordings these ears have heard.

{NAFH 018} Egghatcher - Accidents

$10.00ppd (U.S.)

$13.00ppd (Non-U.S.)

Another Amazing Robert Horton release. "Accidents is concerned with non-intentional gestures. These are "non musical" events- Janet doing the dishes, field recordings, a door creaking, etc. I was interested in these gestures because I was bored with the speed, attack and patterns of improvisers (including myself). I created orchestrations of the events using instruments, sound hack and other means. The recording of the initial events and their orchestration took all of 2004." Robert Horton

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{NAFH 017} -Fathmount - Six String Renderings CD

$10.00ppd (U.S.)

$13.00ppd (Non-U.S.)<p> For fans of guitar terror. Fathmount is Wilson Lee from Hong Kong's experimental duo "new fairfield parks & recreation". By playing 6-string guitar, mics and mixer feedback, Fathmount makes itself an improvising project that combines noise drone/ electro-acoustics and folk. Performed/collaborated with Brad Rose, Birchville Cat Motel, Antony Milton and FM3 (china duo). Recently completed 3 records "6-string renderings 1 & 2" (releasing on newamericanfolkhero and later foxglove) and "continuum overflow".

{NAFH 016} Mike Tamburo and his Orchestra - Ghosts Of Marumbey CD

$10.00ppd (U.S.)

$13.00ppd (Non-U.S.)

Mike Tamburo is back again picking, droning, buzzing and rocking with the biggest line up of the Universal Orchestra of Pituitary Knowledge (his backing band) yet. Collaborators on this project include Ken Camden (Meisha), Keenan Lawler, Brad Rose (North Sea, etc.), Jeff Komara .(Arco Flute Foundation, Air Guitar Magazine), Matt Mcdowell (Nux, Arco Flute Foundation), Pete Spynda (Meisha, Arco Flute Foundation, Air Guitar Magazine), Bryan Camphire (Bloody Panda), Blake Mcdowell (Bloody Panda), Wilson Lee (Fathmount), John Fail (Lied Music, etc.), Tusk Lord, Nick Schillace, Charlie Vinz (Head of Femur, STMonroe, Bobby Conn Band). "The Ghosts of Marumbey were born in a dream. Most interesting things are implanted in our minds, intentionally or not, signposts pointing to anywhere. Mike Tamburo has spent the last few years searching for Marumbey in every nook and cranny of this fucked up beautiful country, and in other places, too. Under the rugs and behind the couches, out back behind green gardens and underneath gray-gold branches of sun kissed forest. Or maybe it was just here all along, invisible to the touch but breathing?the lives of so many that have come before. This is the sound of a place that never existed but still pulses with bubbling, mutating life. This is a ballad for a battle never fought, a dream never-ending?" Lee Jackson

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{NAFH 015} Dave Krejci - The Cleophone CD

Dave Krejci's earliest memory of music is that of trailing his mother while she vacuumed. Krejci would hum along with the vacuum's drone sliding in and out of pitch to create vibrations in his chest. This attraction to the visceral and hypnotic characteristics of sound has fed Krejci's fire for more than 25 years. His adulthood obsession with organs, Leslies, the Cleophone and pianos is nothing more than an adult extension of his vacuum-chasing days. Krejci grew out of Austin, Minnesota, a small hog-slaughtering town curiously full of musicians. "Classically trained" on the piano, Krejci spent the majority of his musical time writing his own compositions and playing piano in bands. In 1987, Krejci escaped the miserable town and fled to Minneapolis to attend the University of Minnesota. In the late 1980s and early 90s, Krejci played Hammond organ for TwinTone/Prospective recording artist GREEN MACHINE, a psychedelic trio that produced several full-length CDs and 45RPMs. In the Spring of 2005, built the CLEOPHONE, an electronic stringed instrument built out of heavy piano strings, Rhodes electromagnetic pick-ups and a microphonic copper stand. The instrument is played through two Leslie Speakers and manipulated with piano hammers, bows, sticks, bones, brushes and ball-bearings.

{NAFH 014} Bradam Streiple - AAB - CD

$10.00ppd (U.S.)

$13.00ppd (Non-U.S.)

Pittsburgh/Chicago Duo of Adam Strohm and Brad Heiple Bradam Streiple is one man made of two, a mysterious and sometimes threatening bloke with a moustache. Birthed by accident in August 2004, Bradam Streiple plays guitar, synth, violin, effects, and other sundry items. Bradam Streiple's music exhibits a tendency towards simple statements and minimalist extrapolations. With a propensity for drones inspired idiosyncratically and rather convolutedly by hockey video games.

{NAFH 013} Tusk Lord - Familiar Trails CD

$10.00ppd (U.S.)

$13.00ppd (Non-U.S.)

"Though Tusk Lord began as a continuation with Mike Kasunic's grimy, ghastly work as part of the duo Slices, he's more recently exited the grimy underground tunnels that birthed the dark and foreboding work of his self-titled debut, and wandered into new realms. Slices, a band of both ear-searing electronic squall and massive guitar/drums plodding thunder, dissolved just as they entered a new phase of existence. And while the Tusk Lord moniker and Kasunic's solo work were birthed during Slices' short lifespan, it was after the duo were no more than Tusk Lord became Kasunic's main vehicle, and the receptacle for the bevy of ideas that Kasunic so eagerly soaked up from various corners of the musical spectrum. Tusk Lord's self-titled debut cdr is an album heavy on inner ear torture and ugly sounds, though not without signs of the about face that Kasunic was soon to make. Familiar Trails finds Tusk Lord in a decidedly different mode, making largely acoustic music in a more meditative, mildly psychedelic manner. The sun-speckled tracks that make up the disc may not boast the forceful impact of Kasunic's earlier work, but Familiar Trails finds Tusk Lord in perhaps his most confident delivery yet. This is the music of unexplored forests, clouds gathering on the horizon, and rocky foothill paths, all viewed through a filter than lends an unnatural veneer to the terrain. It's music of the earth, imperfect and unpolished, and all the more beautiful for it." - Adam Strohm

{NAFH 011} Keenan Lawler - Ghost Of A Plane of Air - CD

$10.00ppd (U.S.)

$13.00ppd (Non-U.S.)

R.Keenan Lawler has spent the last 25 years developing his own personal sound world, constantly pushing himself in new directions and developing new techniques, while remaining completely focused on his vision. His experiments on his 1930 National Resonator guitar are the stuff of legend you sometimes hear from town to town by someone who may have had the good fortune to witness one of his performances. Words such as cosmic, monolithic and deeply American have been used to describe the experience of his music. He has worked with other like-minded musicians such as Matmos, Pelt, Rhys Chatham, John Butcher, Charalambides, Ignaz Schick, Philip Samartzis, My Morning Jacket, David Watson and Lukas Ligeti. In 1999 he self released The Ghost of a Plane of Air, It quickly went out of print and has since been heralded by many as a minimalist masterpiece. It is now available for a larger audience. Lawler here pushes the bounds and very definition of the resonator guitar: bowing, picking, scraping, knocking and combining it with electro-acoustic manipulations and on site recordings. The sound that pours from the speakers is dense, affecting, cavernous and like no other, often delving from delicate picking into a flurry of notes and ecstatic drones. The Ghost of a Plane of Air is the sound of a man looking deep into his soul and coming out the other side changed, scarred and poetic. This reissue has been remastered, and includes one new additional track recorded during the time period of the same recording. Co- Released with Music Fellowship

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{NAFH 010} Keenan Lawler -The Strange Tale of Eddy Westport 3"

$8.00ppd (U.S.)

$10.00ppd (Non-U.S.)

Keenan Lawler is from Louisville. He has a new album out on Xeric and I also reissued his Ghosts of A Plane of Air. He has played with Pelt and a ton of others. Newly Reissued!!! 3 beautiful tracks from the master himself. When I am asked about the evolving spirit of Americans pushing musical traditions to new levels I always mention Keenan Lawler. He is a true genius and has created a guitar style totally unique to himself. He is a master of the slide and the bow. The passion that goes into this music is unmatched.

$10.00ppd (Non-U.S.)

Number None are a drone duo from Chicago. They also run Rebis Records. Newly reissued!!! Masters of timbre and duration Number None came out to my cabin and the tension they created between beauty and chaos got to be so high that I was really afraid all the animals in the forest would riot. Instead we were visited by a giant cobra that covered Number None until it finally stopped raining. Beautiful nuanced harmonies of drones.

$10.00ppd (U.S.)

$13.00ppd (Non-U.S.)

Reissue of classic Robert Horton now with new artwork and shiny plastic jewel case. Again Robert Horton amazes and dazzles. This recording spans from 1983 until yesterday before dinner. It is so amazing to hear Robert's thought process evolve over the years yet be so cohesive to never stray from Robert's life vision.

$10.00ppd (U.S.)

{NAFH 003}

$10.00ppd (U.S.)

$13.00ppd (Non-U.S.)

Mike Tamburo - Screwing Six Bolts Into Last Tuesday or Screwing Sox Bolts into Last Week <p> 4th reissue of the first non guitar Tamburo release now features gorgeous artwork and jewel case. " Screwing Six Bolts Into Last Tuesday is an especially impressive solo piece for piano, vibes, feedback and effects that builds from tasteful piano strikes to a processed cycle of electronics and distortion that altogether makes me think of Steve Reich's reverberating flights to infinity, with some speed fluctuations and inter-dimensional shifts further adding to the processed build-up confusion. Often quite disturbed and haunted in the same space". - Lee Jackson

{NAFH 002} Robert Horton - Winter Suite 3"

$8.00ppd (U.S.)

$10.00ppd (Non-U.S.)

Robert Horton is an amazing multi-instrumentalist/genius/alien whisperer from San Francisco. He has worked with Tom Carter and an assortment of folks. 2nd pressing now available!!! Robert Horton is a sound producer of the highest order. When I received this recording I was almost instantly put in a trance. All of a sudden i was in my back yard on a mission - building string instruments triggered by wind chimes and tall totem pole flute like instruments that were played by the arctic winds. Robert Horton has a musical language that no one else speaks. He builds his own instruments and conjures an alien harmonic orchestra out of the instruments that existed before he arrived on our planet. In the last year he has released a slew of amazing recordings both solo and in collaborations (with Tom Carter and Loren Chase among others). This was one of the first of Robert's recordings to land on earth. It is now finally available again.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

{NAFH 001}Meisha - For Sayas

Recorded between 1998 and 2000 this collects several unreleased recordings from the Meisha Returns Meisha Forever sessions as well as a live show from a tour in 2000. Beautiful and incredible interplay featuring guitars, bass, piano, keyboards and even some vocals. This is the missing link between the second and third Meisha albums.

Yay.
Finally got this one out!


SUNKEN.- 'Eye Electric Organ, Brain Electric Nerve'.
Deep in the swirling depths of the ocean a terrible yet wondrous beast stirs slow but sure amidst great forests of sea algae. Taking on the form of a pair of conjoined drown-ed sailors it sets forth upon the currents determined to loose its apocalyptic vision upon the earth via droning sea shanty and great humming hymn.
Sunken is the duo of sunken sailors Stefan Neville (Pumice) and Antony Milton (Nether Dawn/A.M etc). Using a range of organs, sonar gear, live tapeloops, vocals and an unhealthy amount of submarine reverb they create a glorious droning pop noise. 'Eye Electric Organ, Brain Electric Nerve' follows on from their acclaimed self titled debut (also on PseudoArcana) and various compilation appearances.
You can hear a sample from the album here.
CD. NZ$20 (post incl)

Dear new-american-folk-hero:

On this day in 1935 the first driving test was taken by Mr. J. Beene. This event has helped bring us to the state we are in now.

Meantime, the lines of the Pittsburgh-Cam axis have been little explored by psychogeographers and others in the heritage industry.

We (me-thee) should exploit this further.

old bones and sacred stones, we meet in time, space, and sound

Such possibilities are not out of the realm of magic and mysticism that surrounds Blacklight Braille's work. Their songs often deal with dream-like otherworlds of myth and folklore, such as the King Arthur legends, not to mention the otherworld of death, as expressed in the song Wind Tossed Shadows:


There will come a windy day when I shall turn a shade of grey
Blowing winds will shake my tree, wish wish and l'll be free.
When you see my shadow pass don't turn down an empty glass.

Knight explains the last line: "I wanted to point our not quite the sentiments of Omar Khayyam, who said we should turn down an empty glass as a libation for the dead. Instead, mine should have a little something in it."
