william wesley & the tiny sockets

Bio:

"after various self-released tapes comes a new 30 minute affair of busted up pop warble and sample collage. a new method in lo-fi - everything drenched up and soaked in effects - all-the-while the strumming and humming of pop spew plays forth, un-affected and un-daunting." -UNREAD

"William Wesley & the Tiny Sockets are a cult-like musical entity from the rolling hills of Virginia. On this long awaited CD anthology of previous cassette releases, William Wesley leads his followers through the pastures of broken bliss and hillsides littered with heartache, which are all a part of his ragged history. from the early minimalist folk experiments and cryptic telemarketing call sound collages of the first tape,"you're older than your teeth", to the more recent broke down anthems and lonesome/fucked up ballads, this collection documents the trials and tribulations of a true appalachian/underground eccentric and his merry band of raving lunatics. Chronicling the first three full length tapes and all early split material and compilation appearances (including "start living" from the chaotic underworld noise compilation vol. 3, 2006) this disc is the perfect starting point for new listeners and an essential set for the devoted. The Tiny Sockets are the absolute definition of "outsider" music...reclusive, desperate, tearjerking(at times), life threatening(at others)... a bit like Daniel Johnston as heard through an amplified meatgrinder.....a freak folk meets weirdo noise union of alienation & heartbreak, triumph & tragedy, sex, drugs & the coming apocalypse...bottom line, worshippers of lo-fi and diy culture as well as fans of noise/experimental, folk and damn good songwriting should all either eat this up or use the disc to cut their wrists with!"-CHAOTIC UNDERWORLD

DON'T DOWSE THE HOUSE cassette available here:http://www.unread-records.com

"newest collection from william wesley and his trusty 4-track. overblown pop racket and crazed sound collage all rolled up onto one trusty spool of magnetic tape. the fragments of clutter strewn all over this document are boggling. from quick blips and tinkerings to bizzare conversations and messages culled from god-knows-where. this is all ground to putty and spat back out with levels so hot, they are cool." -UNREAD
