THE RECTIFIERS OF NOW..
The Rectifiers of now has Ben playing the drums AND a recording machine run on some kind of turpentine jus, pulled by a wax-coated horse.

After much deliberation The Rectifiers are proud to announce the release of

IT'S A PASTORAL POP SENSATION!!
Field studies have revealed the sound to be something like a translucent
antique Edwardian trout swimming in a field of autumn gold.
Ernesto Eldorado, famous for his workflow charts on the folksonics review
has likened the album favorably to a "hill with ears or something like a
walnut with a moustache"
IN THE TREMULOUS MISTS OF YESTERDAYS, The Rectifiers (usually based in a submarine studio) have often ventured to land and have played many many shows to a round of applause. They have performed alongside the likes of Lambchop, Catpower, Joe Pernice, Jay Ferrar, and Francoiz Breut, to but name but a few..

Dear chaps, your new album is staggering....even better than "Wear the Weight of the Resting Sky" which we thought near impossible! All the best in 2009 and we hope to see you play again in Melbourne soon...love Kylie and Amps xxxx
Hi there! I seldom make requests these days but your music is quite extraordinary and so well performed that I just couldn't resist! I used to live in WA a long time ago, though now resident of Stockholm, Sweden. Nowadays I am well aquainted (via the web) with DJ/teacher Andrew Holborne who runs his Third ear program in Melbourne every now and then. I also know a talanted musician of your town named Damien if that rings a bell. Together they attended your gig just recently. Nice of you to add me! Cheers, Peter
aw, hooray! so when's it out then? this sounds a bit fluffy but i'm forever listening to "wear the weight of the resting sky" when i'm feeling creative, it kind of loosens up my brain. rock on, etc.
