skullflower “tribulation” compact disc

lost in the blackened gardens of some vast star
black wind
saragossa
dying venice
tribulation
void of roses
dwarf thunderbolt
silver stars rot mindlessly...
in the depths of the stagnant pond

2nd (fall 2006) album by skullflower on crucial blast... bower’s totally on top of his game here folks; there are very few other musicians that have kept as relevant in the all-knowing eyes of the grand sphere. colossal guitar-based music that’s neither doom, ambient nor noise yet retains the best characteristics of all three...

skullflower tribulation cd
cbr55

tribulation. the new emission from the uk trance-noise legends skullflower. a black-void beaming of utterly destroyed drone rock and crushing amplifier obliteration that rains down black ash and punishing blasts of feedback skree on the listener. a dynamic, bleary-eyed meditation. an avalanche of powerdrone that threatens to take your cranium apart and transport your grey matter into filthy new dimensions infested with melodic razor cuts and submerged mantras. a triumphant eruption of apocalyptic meta-metal and radioactive raga swarms, guaranteed to loosen eardrums. this album is one of the heaviest, harshest slabs of guitar armageddon from matt bower since the glory days of total, and bridges the void between the krautrock/celestial free drone influence of the last few skullflower albums, and the blackened molten death of his mirag material.

the goslings “spaceheater / perfect interior” compact disc

two early goslings self-released eps paired up & re-mastered !!

spaceheater ep

in may (12:59)
statuette (4:56)
lillian (4:11)
summer for spring (4:31)

perfect interior ep

landing (5:37)
bloom again (1:46)
celestine (4:47)
sthenno (2:59)
herons (2:07)

super-timely (well... i mean i’ve just discovered this band via their recent archive-label disc “grandeur of hair”) reissue of two 2003/4 super small-run 4-track cassette --> cdr-ep releases by the goslings - recorded way back in the paleozoic as simply the husband-wife duo of max and leslie soren.

much more drift-oriented/less song-situated than “grandeur” - space is allowed for the duo to flesh-out... there are some really great ambient-washes that kinda sound like fennesz (only analog/lo-fi), a bit of gamelan-lineage percussion, much cassette overload and lone chord-progressions played by various keyboard-instruments...

what’s so great about these guys is that straddle a pretty damn wide divide between something like mbv’s paens to lost innocence and more subterranean “doom” sensibilities. pretty damn unique...

the goslings spaceheater/perfect interior cd
cbr51

spaceheater/perfect interior collects the first two ep's from husband-and-wife duo the goslings, originally released as short-run cd-rs on low-fi/indie noise imprint asaurus records in 2003-2004. working with a signature palette of melted,low-fi indie pop and muggy/smeared psych-drone ambience ground through overdriven amplifiers and shot out into pools of swirling basement shudder, the goslings adorn their gorgeous powermurk with eerie field recordings, ghostly subterranean vocals, and crackling cable buzz.if sunn o))) had, in actuality, been a psych-addled late-80's dreampop outfit on 4ad records , or if cult shoegazers medicine had ever collaborated with drone-axe sorcerers earth, the resulting fug may have been similiar to this avalanche of mystic black sugar. simultaneously ethereal and blown-out,angelic strains of four-track mud-majesty shaking the walls of the ancient well it's buried beneath.

skullflower “orange canyon mind” compact disc

starry wisdom
orange canyon mind
annihilating angel
vampires breath
ghosts ice aliens
goat of a thousand young
star hill
forked lightning

brilliant, space-frozen overload from matt bower (with mick flower on occasional drums, mark burns on occasional guitar)... sounds like “iiird gatekeeper” era, only with much more studio post-prod. trickery and (*gasp*) electronic manipulation.

the same chugging, monolithic riffs that have fueled the band since xaman are there in droves... much to rejoice over. as of right now, one of my records of the year... if you love hazed-out gutbucket blasts of white noise guitar... look no further.

skullflower orange canyon mind cd
cbr45

the new full length from the legendary uk free/drone/psych outfit skullflower, featuring some of the most searing, synapse scorching droneworks that matthew bower (the man behind skullflower, as well as sunroof! and the hototogisu) has unleashed to date, in our humble opinion. orange canyon mind is the follow up to 2002's awesome exquisite fucking boredom (tumult records), and continues that albums utter mutation of stoned out riffs pulled taffy-like into eternity/oblivion and star-rupturing blasts of sonic white light. over the 8 tracks/60 minute running time, bower and cohorts build massive horizontal drones and melodic supernovas. superb, beautiful, brain melting stuff.
