NEW/OLD/RELATED

Whole Voyald Infinite Light 'Cathexis' cass (Lotus Birth) - 'Twin electric guitar meditations by North West U.K. conduits Jon Collin, (of majestic guitar duo Serfs, Vampire Blues, and helm of The Whole Voyald) and Infinite Light. Five cuts from two jams recorded winter 2008/2009, encompassing swells of tempered feedback and understated chords blossoming into wild-eyed modal flights, through a gauze of reverbed valve shimmer and fuzzed dictaphone speakers.' Lotus Birth

Beach Fuzz 'Untitled' 7" (Great Pop Supplement) - '350 copy singles featuring two cacophonous freakout drone jams in cool fliptop matchbox style, yearling lined card sleeves...' GPS

Vampire Blues 'Knocking on the Dragon's Door' cass (Winebox Press) - '...medium-spiced trans-snake pass showtunes from Vampire Blues duo. Follow-up to last year's Blackest Rainbow cassette - maintains the harmonium/guitar dynamic, in a midwinter post-pest-control situation.' some jerk

Beach Fuzz 'Nosferatu Hex' cdr (Golden Lab) - 'This CD by Beach Fuzz follows up on the limited cassette they did on Blackest Rainbow and definitely doesn't kick out the jams.. In fact it embraces them quite heartily. Saxophonist Dave Jackson (of Solar Fire Trio) joins the band to blow the skin off your very face while everyone else clatters around in a whirlwind of tribal dustbin lid drums, squealing feedback and deep-voiced zombie incantations. It's a bit like a jazzy Heavy Winged+Satan...' Norman Records

J. Collin 'John Train's Blues' 3" (Colour Ride) - 'four tracks of solemn guitar work - dips and bends of minimal playing rarely heard to this standard of consolidation.' Colour Ride

Vampire Blues 'Turkish Petroleum Company' Cass (Blackest Rainbow) - 'New UK duo featuring Jon of the Hunter Gracchus/Singing Knives and Jon of the Serfs playing lonesome Mazzacane/Charalambides/Japanese guitar tonefloat and hymns to the void potential of hypnotic drones.' Volcanic Tongue

Serfs 'Live in Victoria Baths' cdr (Total Vermin) - 'Strung out twin guitar explorations tying Fahey/Crazy Horse/Dead C venn diagrams into galactic knots of sound, enhanced on this live recording by the atmospherics of the Victoria Baths and the clatter and screech percussion of T. Hardman, P. Nicholls, B. Dean and S. Arnot.' Total Vermin

Beach Fuzz 'Triumvirate Bird's Eye View of Range Road' cass (Scumbag Relations)

Beach Fuzz 'Hole of Hellos' cass (Blackest Rainbow)

Axis Mundi/John Fante split cass (Lotus Birth)

Beach Fuzz 'No Flaws No Ceilings' cass (Lotus Birth)

Beach Fuzz 'Rooftops is Halos' cdr (Golden Lab)

Svarte Greiner (Deaf Center/Miasmah/Type) explores deep into a dark, mysterious and disturbing universe. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Earth, Volcano the Bear, David Darling & Deathprod, the music is draped in Lynchian mysticism and horror film cinematics. "The music of Svarte Greiner is practically perfect. It's like that sound in our heads we've been imagining for ages but had never actually heard." - Type Records.

The Sight Below (Rafael Anton Irisarri/Miasmah/Immune) draws as much on modern genre progenitors like Brian Eno, Robin Guthrie and My Bloody Valentine as it does from the more historic traditions in neo-classicism from Erik Satie and Olivier Messiaen. His album Glider has appeared on Thom Yorke's radar in making the Radiohead's lynchpin's top ten playlist.

His debut album Navigare soon to feature on the Miasmah label, Simon Scott (former Slowdive) is set to be a household name in conceptual music. Simon is the former Slowdive drummer, co-producer of Televise, producer of Seavault, and owner of KESH Recordings label.

xNoBBQx Skewer 10" LP (Ltd to 300 copies) - Out May 12th

We first came across xNoBBQx (just call them No Barbeque, I guess) in Piccadilly Records last year when the Siltbreeze vinyl reissue of their first CD-r appeared on its shelves. The Siltbreeze label being a bastion of all that is great in terms of dirgy, lo-fi, transcendental unmusicality, we were thus intrigued to hear this slab. And, we have to say, it was one of the greatest shop-listening experiences of all time. Here was a duo, probably of fully grown men, bashing away at their instruments in a manner that suggested they had never really learned any 'proper' technique.
We later read a review, in fact, that put it thus:

"So what exactly is the difference between an xNoBBQx recording and a couple of 14 year olds bashing instruments in the garage with record pressed down on one of their mum’s old tape recorders? Probably not a whole lot, actually, but I get the feeling that’s precisely the point.
" (Cyclic Defrost)

Well, yes, that does largely seem to be the point. But it's a helluva point. The duo, in spite of their unabashed simplicity, manage to create sounds that are warm as an old-fashioned blanket, each piece having the ability to induce a state of complete, dribbling mental stasis. It's disjointed, scratchy and 'difficult', yes. But it also manages to be completely absorbing. If you like your rock deconstructed to the nth degree, we highly recommend you dig this.

xNoBBQx will be touring the UK from 10th May 2009.
We'll be putting them on in Manchester on 12th May (venue TBC), so keep yr eyes on this page.

For now, you can pre-order your copy of this stellar new 23 minute masterpiece at myspace.com/goldenlabrecords

OUT NOW

The Hunter Gracchus Companions of the Porch CD-R

We've never been able to quite pin down exactly what it is that The Hunter Gracchus do, which is a wonderful thing. A shifting unit with Syed Kamran Ali, Fiona Marshall and Jon Marshall at the core, they have recently settled into a fairly stable unit of six, but it's hard to know how long that'll last. Still, while it does, it's producing all manner of magical and highly unexpected performances. The one captured here was recorded at the band's practice room cum gig space, Fagin's Hideout/The Furniture Makers and is a less blistering freakout than some of their recent output, preferring to quietly explore every nook of tonal space. It simmers rather than erupts and, the longer you become immersed in it, the less aware you become of the passage of time. It's a recording that feels like it should go on forever and, when it does come to a close, the silence is shocking. In a time when it's all too easy for a group of improvisers to just go full-tilt in some euphoric pursuit, the Hunter Gracchus provides us with a glowing alternative that draws us slowly in and drowns our senses. This is truly awesome.

Ltd to 80 copies

OUT NOW

Peeesseye I Woke Up and Drank a Bottle of Cheap Kojak CDR

Peeesseye made the scene at Dylan Nyoukis's Colour Out of Space festival last summer and hopped over to Manchester to play a show at the Town Hall Tavern, the recording of which forms the content of this incredible slab of dense droning harmonium, scraping, buzzing, subtly soloing guitar and pulse-free, scatter-drumming. We can't recommend this enough.
Limited to 80 copies.
