ILX Gonna Shine in My Backdoor Someday (new post-Fahey folk for ppl posting in Takoma/Tompkins Square threads Pt II)

yup -- i don't know much about what they sound like either but i am interested in guitar-drums duos who mix composed with improvised so i'm looking forward to it
some quotes here to sum it up http://www.cor-sano.com/vampirebelt/

corsano is always worth seeing

yup
they've got a new record too

Whoa, would love to see that. And Tom Carter! Enjoy.

Haven't seen Corsano since 2012 or so, and that was solo (which was awesome!). Hope he cruises through here sometime in the not too distant future.

Did not know of Vampire Belt!

ctrl+f thread for "Joan" shows me I'm a couple months behind on this one, but: this Joan Shelley record, y'all. WOW.

yeah definitely one of the top 3 albums of 2015 for me. pretty much perfect.

you guys omg
i realize this thread is for more fingerpickin acoustic stuff but vampire belt scrambled my brains last night. i don't think chris corsano has any bones, he's like a glowing ageless alien supported by translucent cartilage. bill nace played sitting down and did all kinds of weird stuff that i can't describe very well because i am not a guitar player. the other guy who played (who was not local, unfortunately) was playing an electrified acoustic guitar and sounded like fuzzed out fricke/fichelscher. i talked his ear off :) idk if they're touring anywhere near y'all but i bought the new record (with change from the floor of my car) and i would definitely recommend it if you've got an appetite for some far out sounds.

that sounds awesome and honestly I think this thread is always appreciative of strains of improv/drone/underground rock that intersect w/american primitive and stuff, there's a lot of crossover anyway

but...to bring it back to some old school trill O.Gs choppin up game....for those of you in the southwest and west coast...

Bown down when I'm westward bound"

hahah oops I HAD A POINT really

damn Toulouse Engelhardt has some swagger
any actual dates announced for that?
and LL definitely keep that kinda stuff in this thread. feel like everyone here has generally similar (or at least intersecting) tastes when it comes to this stuff, whether it's the straight takoma action or more noisy/experimental things. ps i love this thread.

yeah I will check that Vampire Belt out, thanks LL

this is sounding pretty nice - https://tornlightrecords.bandcamp.com/album/bowles-turner-duo
The couple of Nathan Bowles and Ma Turner could not have meshed any better. Field recorded banjos, guitars and an omnipotent praise to the land these pieces were recorded in. Two delicate pieces filtered through the mountain's sounds.

oooooh

this is cool stuff

https://sahelsounds.bandcamp.com/album/abba-gargando

yesss, sounding killer.

This Joan Shelley is gorgeous. Thanks for the heads up.

that abba gargando is a nice little treat

man, yeah, really happening.

<3 Sahelsounds

yeah it's so good. on my like third listen today

on a sahelsounds note, mdou moctor is in the middle of a uk tour atm http://www.belmontbookings.nl/mdou-moctar-will-tour-europe-this-november/

sahelsounds! wow!

Abba Gargando still rockin it in this household

hey FYI from chris forsyth:

Continuing the Bandcamp updating and the final LP copies of Solar Motel (2013), Paradise of Bachelors) are now available. This record is technically out of print, sold out at POB, so these are the last copies I have (tho you might find some sitting in stores or online here or there). I've got 17 copies** with your name on them, including DL card. Then, bye, bye, no more copies. Buy direct or cruise over to POB's Bandcamp for CD or digital:

**make that 16 because i just bought one

killer record still -- though i might actually prefer the Solar Live release (which is up on bandcamp now too!)

Yeah I bought that on vinyl when I was at the show wish the sound was better

is the sound not good? i might be so used to audience tapes that it seems solid to me.
speaking of audience tapes: http://www.nyctaper.com/2015/11/chris-forsyth-the-solar-motel-band-november-12-2015-the-bowery-ballroom-new-show-announcement/

they had a gut-punch sound live that i don't think many bootleg-ish recordings can match.

couple of the new tracks have vocals, that's interesting

I shouldn't have said bad, just I think I bought it at a particularly epic show and it felt small when I heard it at home

I would like to upgrade my praise of the abba gargando release on bandcamp, it's fantastic

Nice to see some action here! Looks like Abba Gargando is top of the list.

glad people dig! very much a fit with the volk guitar spotify playlist that ogmor made, which you should hop on if you haven't already

A friend recently passed away and as I was tearfully going through his old YouTubes, this one made think of this thread.

Hopefully that link works.

Yay, it did.

that's a great clip
sorry your friend passed away austin

yeah that is nice! just came across an old recording by a long-gone friend that i'd never heard and it was pretty heavy.

ok, just going to spam a couple of relevant threads with this

if you can't read my chicken scratch, that's tywilc AT gmail.com

NICE! Perhaps you have finally created the pipeline and all the shows will come to you. Enjoy!

haha, well, we'll see if anyone shows up...

Who cares? You get to see it!

Maybe we could all Skype in

sounds dangerous ...
in other news, chuck johnson has a "band" record coming out early next year -- here's the PR spiel:

“Velvet Arc” finds Johnson returning to territory he explored in bands like Idyll Swords and Spatula, utilizing an expanded lineup of like-minded musicians to augment his captivating guitar stylings including drummer Alex Vittum & bassist Ben Bracken on most tracks.

“Velvet Arc” fades into view with the opening track “As I Stand Counting”, it’s desert-dusted guitar raga appearing like a mirage as the rhythm section rises in the mix. Similarly, “Everything at Once”s picks & strums hang in the air buoyed by the steady swells of crashing cymbals & bass. Side A closer “Anamet” may sound familar to fans - the tune is a re-working of “Private Violence” from “Blood Moon Boulder”, with added cello, a long synth outro, and a more psychedelic mix overall. Johnson’s tenacity & constant evolution as a musician is representative in this track alone; he is an artist constantly in flux, refining & reworking like any good craftsman. Side B features more of Johnson’s lauded fingerpicking style on tracks like “Velvet Arc”, “Roadside Auspice” & “The Pace”, while album closer “Middle Water” hums along contentedly with violin by Marielle Jakobsons.

“Velvet Arc” is an album finding Johnson playing at the top of his game, unafraid to re-evaluate & redefine himself any chance he can get.

that is exciting

blood moon boulder is such a fantastic record

Yeah man, Blood Moon Boulder is great. Just listened to it again the other night.

Interested to see what the fuller band action will be like.

Dangerous.

Are Shelley/Salsburg headed west? I see a Colorado date (plus Tyler's house show) but that's it...
