| | long unavailable second album by the red (c)krayola - at this stage a trio with mayo thompson, frederick barthelme (whom i only found out recently is the brother of donald barthelme, and a fantastic author in his own right...), and steve cunningham - recorded in 1967 and unreleased until drag city stepped in in 1995 ... arguably the most “out” set in the krayola kanon ; short, entirely improv-based pieces ... |
| | drag city press release... |
| in 1966 the band signed to international artists, home label to fellow psych-rockers the 13th floor elevators that was run by lelan rogers (brother of country musician kenny rogers). in 1967 the label released the psychedelic album, parable of arable land, featuring six songs by the original three members interwoven with a cacophony generated by approximately 100 anonymous followers known as the familiar ugly who appear on a number of noise tracks called free-form freak-outs. the album's title track was a tape loop of electronic sounds with musical improvisations layered on top of it, a sound that foreshadowed the red crayola's second recording.
the minimalist music album coconut hotel was recorded in 1967 but rejected by international artists for its lack of commercial potential because of its complete departure from the full-sounding guitar/bass/drums/vocals rock sound of the red crayola's first album. coconut hotel featured such self-described tracks as "organ buildup", "free guitar" and a series of atonal "one-second pieces" for piano, trumpet and percussion.
the album did not see release until 1995. during this period, the band performed a concert in berkeley, california where they attached a contact microphone to a sheet of aluminium foil that was set under a block of melting ice. the red crayola also performed with guitarist john fahey and recorded an entire studio album of music in collaboration with him, but label head lelan rogers demanded possession of the tapes and recorded documentation of those sessions has been missing ever since. |
