astral social club / glockenspielsplit” seven inch single record

  • astral social club - smash crater #1

  • glockenspiel - assorted pcp
december 2009 release ; straight banger from neil campbell, delivering a trademark ultra-dense production, rife with tons of tiny, fizzing detail ... but the surprise here comes from krayon in-house act glockenspiel, providing a great chunk of ecstatic sustained feedback bliss & clanking, chain-drag percussion reminding me just a little bit of the theater of eternal music ...

kr014 astral social club / glockenspiel split 7"

wheezing skyward born machine groans and gasped tremolo root to a kinetic pulse, while distant melody zones ascend to circulate around the bass flex on this face chewer by neil campbell. on the flip is the first vinyl cut by glockenspiel, flocculent tones weave with tom rub and bowed metal harmonics, drifting on the back of a drum dub to the heart of a snow-blind haze of feedback, amplified string scrape and analogue electronics.

spin at 45. art by noah campbell.

infinite light / vibracathedral orchestrasplit” seven inch single record

  • infinite light - baptised by intuition

  • vibracathedral orchestra - get it?
november 2009 release ; ... turns out infinite light is a new super-group with mick flower, magik markerspete nolan, and barry dean - they let out a great side of lo-fi freedom jamming & a lovely little guitar-vocal raga (listen to the sound-sample there ; great stuff !!!) ... then vco come in with a side-length trancer full of oscillating organs, wah-wah guitar freakouts, and the penultimate “krautrockoctave-pulse to rule them all ... really great single.

kr013 infinite light / vibracathedral orchestra split 7"

vibracathedral drop straight into a heads down fully tranced narco-dust trail, with guitar-born fireflies leading the way through a never-changing backdrop heat haze of low-lying smoke-mist and earth-veined throb. fx tweets and rattlesnake percussion shakes as mystic keyboard spirits blow in a weightless drift.

the first cut from infinite light is a section lifted from a show featuring barry dean on guitar, mick flower on guitar and organ and pete nolan jamming the traps, and its a full, free-rock, psych-out captured through a heavy veil of no-fi smog. by the sounds of this they must have blasted open the trans-dimensional portal to some out-of-time temple rituals. part two is the opposite, exchanging blasted group workout for a solo piece of harmonic guitar vignettes wrapped around a falsetto vocal cadence fluctuating at the point of saturation.

art by barry dean, design by mick flower.

c. spencer yeh / jon lorenz / ryan jewelllive at the cac 7.21.08” seven inch single record

  • live at the cac 7.21.08 (1) (4:26)

  • live at the cac 7.21.08 (2) (4:12)
july 2009 release ; for a free improv 7 (something of a rarity these days ... or ever, discounting the fmp and incus ones) i was of course expecting straight full-bore sandblasting - the kind that makes you notice the format’s inherent frequency-response & surface-noise problems less ... but this is in fact an entirely dynamic & quite well mastered / pressed set from spencer, wasteland jazz unit’s jon lorenz, and ryan jewell, with nary a pop or fizzle-out to be found ...

lovely sleeve w/ wyvern’s caricatures of the group to boot ; highly recommended !!!

kr012 c. spencer yeh / jon lorenz / ryan jewell split 7”

2 sides of bent frown jazz from the hardcore supergroup of lorenz, yeh and jewell. side a comes on all fifth dimension hard think: violin scrunch and squeal, hard tom rub and dense harmonic blowing pushed right to the front of your brain box, jams a frantic fanfare with locked horn and strings before giving in with a wheeze and a tinkle. side b's call and answer shies away as fragments fragment into bowed skin, seesaw string microtone and rasped mouthpiece until spunk rock free jizz looseness explodes in downtown turntable street.

  • bark haze - can we just talk instead? (5:17)

  • our love will destroy the world - sadnessfinalamen (5:02)
april 2009 release ; grainy, metalloid guitar-duo-isms from thurston & andrew, then a rather sparkling, borderline-emo acoustic guitar wash from campbell ...

some of the first wax from this promising uk label, stay tuned ...

kr009 bark haze / our love will destroy the world split 7”

campbell kneale moves ever closer to the glistening, levitation altar, with backwards bliss-shimmer, spooked chant and analogue squawk and squeal, kaleidoscoping around triumphant snare punctuation. bark haze hit back with focused power-drone guitar duelling from the heart of the bong, smoking out into tunnel-visoned, crumbled-amp chunder.

kr004 glockenspiel 'enspiel' cd

using tapes, electronics and guitars through chains of effects, adrian dollemore's fundamentally earth-ground chords and astrally-projective processing paint a rural tonality with a bristling white afterglow.

this collection of pieces displays the development his compositions have undergone, where glistening arpeggios rise and fall against gurgling analogue electronics, washes of processed cymbal and ethereal drone filigree.

pro pressed replicated cd.
