Beats For The Beast
(Free Porcupine Society) Used Split CD $5.00
All three members of Charalambides take a moment in 2004 to pursue passionate, simple beauty. The title track by Tom Carter is a “30-minute psychedelic dustbowl of slide guitar meanderings…, lush and impressive…,” explains Tiny Mix Tapes. Christina Carter and Heather Leigh Murray add textures and “touches of vocals to their mind-expanding cuatro.” Packaged in a silk-screened tri-fold sleeve with handmade obi.
Root King
(Eclipse) Used LP $5.00
All of side one is “Lighthouse,” a slow, shimmering glissando of gonging bells and elongated swells of feedback, a glacial yet effervescent guitar piece. The second side offers more elusive notes and flowing, held tones that constantly waver between a vague throat / tonal source.

Galactic guitar ooze from 2009. Silkscreened cover.
