We have a garden and a bag of magic stones, we water them and flowers grow with spools of audio tape and sometimes minidiscs. We pick them, run them through machines and then record what they sound like. Sometimes we use them to tie up snakes, because an old man told us that was how we could ward away evil.

The Twombley Spiders and the Whiskey-Fueled Sparrow (May 2008)

The first Twombley Spiders album, And The Five Racoon Army, revealed a brighter, more poetic side of Eryk Salvaggio’s increasingly endearing musical endeavours. At any rate, it ended up being a sleeper hit, with 7000 downloads in less than a year. With this follow-up, well, let’s just say there’s everything we like about this project: lush ambiences with a subtle underside of grit, dreamy melodies that veer far away from too-sweet… Run-off-the-mill it clearly is not. But inspired? Hell yes.

For release numero 100, we are quite happy, no, make that plain ecstatic, to welcome back our good friend Eryk Salvaggio (remember Infoslut? Matrix Assimilation? And even more akas than you can shake a memory stick at?) and his new partner-in-crime Katia Perdoni, in a new project called The Twombley Spiders. On this inaugural release, the Spiders play a deep, lush kind ambient-tinged IDM, and sometimes they sing on top of it. Great music for Sunday mornings and other such instances of lying on the futon and enjoying your time.
