Absolutely fantastic! Kind of performance art too, where the two singers walked among the audience and tossed a large balloon/ball to each other, carefully deployed small lights down the center aisle and threw a small light on a long wire across people's laps as if she doing something routine like fishing or harvesting etc. The band overall rotated among instruments while very atmospheric soundscapes continued underneath it all. They had a variety of noise makers like you might find on a sound stage, even children's toys to make animal noises with. Super enchanting.

Obvious update here, as Tompkins Square has released its "Ten Years Gone : A Tribute to Jack Rose" compilation:
https://tompkinssquare.bandcamp.com/album/ten-years-gone-a-tribute-to-jack-rose
Lots of good stuff on it. I really love the Andy McLeod track on it, Isasa & Helen Espvall resonating heavily as well. Very happy to see Micah Blue Smalldone make an appearance as well, as I love his playing (and singing when he does it) and haven't seen anything roll out from him in a while.
Good set of remembrance materials here as well courtesy of our man Tyler: https://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/189492634627/ten-years-gone-a-tribute-to-jack-rose-its-been

Definitely into the Paolo Laboule Novellino track as well. Hits a lot of sweet spots for me (particularly lots of space).

that's an album title that's hard to resist!

At first I thought "vol 2" was just there to make the title even sillier, but there is indeed a volume 1!

I'd forgotten there was a new Padang Food Tigers album this year. I'd also forgotten it was released on a label owned by Neal Cassady! Just bought the digital - any plans for a vinyl release? What a gorgeous wee band.

Thank you for the nod! Blue Hole Recs is Will Csorba and I here in Houston just doing our own thing and trying out best. It is great to have worked with PFT on that as Blackest Rainbow was one of the first modern labels that I got really into back in the late 00s and I remember 'Born Music' having an instant classic feel. There still aren't many other groups who had done it or continue to do it as good as they do.
I do agree though, I am hoping more people keep learning that PFT had put out new material because I've heard the same comment a couple times during this current end-of-year season. The Blue Hole cassette was originally supposed to be released at the same time that Death Is Not The End (UK) would drop the vinyl but it looks like as of October—PFT was looking for someone to do the vinyl version. It would be cool to see someone close to our community do it, like Three Lobed or something.

^this rules, the sixth track has the best ending of anything I heard in 2019
― ogmor, Friday, 17 January 2020 18:24 (four years ago) link
Does anyone know what Steve Gunn is doing to get that great feedback at around 12:50 of this vid? Immediately after he takes off his capo and he takes his hands off all the strings. He allows it to come back in at the end of this sort of outro section. If it’s not a pedal, was it just good old normal unplanned feedback? Bc it sounds v nice and mostly intentional.

don't know if this has been discussed here (what a big-ass thread), but joseph allred's album O Meadowlark from last year is great:

He's great! We haven't discussed it enough, but yeah he is a one of a kind

Will this be the new fahey brigade meme? How many of us can get primitivism stars to play at our weddings?

Tom Lecky wrote a song about the place I got married! Does that count?
(I think I've mentioned him on here. He records as Hallock Hill. The Union and A Hem of Evening are both stellar. https://hallockhill.bandcamp.com/album/a-hem-of-evening )

Yes, I have an original copy and it's a prized possession. Happy for a reissue so I don't have to play my copy so much. It's nowhere near as new-agey as the description and photos of the instruments would suggest (though I can't say the same for the few of his later albums and collaborations I have heard, which are nice enough depending on your tolerance for, umm, Narada Equinox and the like). I'd compare the music to that Gimmer Nicholson album in some ways. I mean, they sound nothing alike (except both albums share, to my ears, a slight classical bent), but it has a similar "third way" quality about it that makes it seem very much apart from anything that came before it. There's zero blues and zero folk. As far as I remember, it's all improvised, and mostly with homemade instruments. You should grab it, it's pretty amazing.

i had both the fall and Fahey lined up in separate tabs, so for the first minute of "hip priest" i thought it was fahey, and entered an terrifying alternate universe for as a result. Thanks ILM! nice to be back.

Joseph Allred, who we've talked about upthread, posted this video today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_ZrHAK5iDQ&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR3LbSH_RjtB9CU26V5S2UwsXNdMCk0-XQWRpcbHcfi5z4MZF5_QSI7T0Sg
fun(?) fact(s): he played at my wedding, which was in Cades Cove and which inspired this suite!

he's so great, that's an awesome story about your wedding! do you know him?

many of you will already be aware but a certain steve palmer's album useful histories has been released on some v hot looking vinyl and it's a heady fusion of psych jams & takomaish picking with some wild delay pedal action and it's a work of major genius so if the big man won't post about it here then it's my solemn duty to ensure it gets a mention!

Allred is such a sweet guy
― Evan, Saturday, 8 February 2020 13:40 (four years ago) link
Our man Global really knocked it out of the park on this record, Ogmor is completely on the money here. Everything I have heard from it is beautiful and deeply rendered, just really well synthesized moves and approaches to "shit that sounds great for a guitar to get up to." Proud of our dude for getting this out there.

Hoping to hear some Cassini moves down the line. Quite a crew in that band! But yeah just ordered my copy of "Useful Histories" today.
― grandavis, Sunday, 9 February 2020 18:12 (four years ago) link

If anyone needs some listening today, the two tracks available for streaming here are really nice:
https://waterlesshills.bandcamp.com/album/the-great-mountain-lp
C Joynes on guitar and DBH on violin with a rhythm section. C Joynes is a great and tasteful player, but really delivers this for me is DBH's fiddle, really expressive and beautiful playing. I imagine that the whole record delivers (unfortunately sold out despite not even being officially "released" yet).
― grandavis, Friday, 28 February 2020 15:38 (four years ago) link
oh wow cool combo, C Joynes is one of those players that probably doesn't get enough attention on the scene

yeah i'm digging waterless hills! finally really got into that Matthew J Rolin record from late last year and it's very strong, too.
