A Posthuman Guide to the Advent Calendar Origins of the Peep Show
(Sophomore Lounge - SL066) LP $15.75 (Out-of-stock)
Large-group ensemble made up of a cast of Kentucky characters comes in from the hermetic rain field of electric pabulum and renders extraordinary renditions into a maximalist tapestry, laced with concentrated forms of seared-synapse acoustic-retrieval alchemy. Sapat’s immediate stimulation reveals myriad fires during repeated listens. This is an album chock full of ideas and sound worlds that obliterate thought — a genre-melting bastard-child of deep psych, art-punk, stoner shred, mass jass, Buddhist operatic, narrative noise, and psychic coaction. It’d be criminal to expect anything less of a 14-year-old-and-counting, shape-shifting collective sharing members of Valley of Ashes, Kark, Softcheque, Tropical Trash, Black Velvet Fuckere, Son of Earth, The Belgian Waffles!, Phantom Family Halo, and about a billion other Louisvillian enclaves.
Mortise and Tenon
(Siltbreeze) Used LP $10.00 (Out-of-stock)
Acoustically packed to the gills, the octet effortlessly strums and blows breezy vibes, emitting kosmisch melodies and Teutonic ambience that channel past giants such as Limbus 4, Siloah and Lord Krishna Von Goloka (aka the A-team of Krautrock). Once you launch into the group’s spacey and entrancing (yet calming and soothing) asteroid belt, you might mistake the Ozarks for the Alps if you’re not careful. And who could blame you? You’re way up there and the air’s thin; hallucinating’s a must.
