\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh hey, it’s been too long. A pretty random tape purchase<\/a> from the Shape Records site led to 30 minutes of strung out, experimental bliss from Failed NASA Experiment, which led to a FNE back catalogue reservoir-deep with skronk and drone joy, which led to their mother label The Lows And The Highs and a further roster of fried heads and cracked speakers. Once you’re in, you may as well go up to your neck – it’s music that’s dusty, out there, full of love and devoid of crap indie middle eights. A new split cassette with mystery Argentinian weirdos \u00d8+yn should make you immediately juice up; check these totally objective song descriptions and pretend you don’t want multiple copies.<\/p>\n

Cinco Cantos\u00a0a\u00a0la Virgen de Satrostramocha: Canto 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brittle strummed ukes. Plucked strings. Metal twinkling percussion\/FOOT STOMPS. Wonky keyboard from space. Bends time.<\/p>\n

Canto 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keening violin in the gate of madness. Stalking guitarro. Dribble drool vocals from male Spanish witch. Bells. “Woo-ooo-oo! Eeeah!” Everything up, coalescing. Rest. Sawing a violin in half. Jews harpocalypse. Weird ruler on table noise. Lone plucked guitar. Then a dead choir begin.<\/p>\n

Canto 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pipes of the dead. Honks. The skronk note. Wood hit. Cat walking on piano. Guitar\/toy car revving. Giant fart cloud. Waaap noise from space or is it yawning aliens?<\/p>\n

Canto 4<\/strong><\/p>\n

Desert violin wibble. Metal hit. Some chanting. Pure tone for ringing ears. Gibbering ghosts in background. Is that a dog? Whispering spells. Quiet. Slave ship drums. Noise coming in like lighthouse revolutions. Violin again. Quiet. Metal ghosts. Bird noises? Stoned whistling?<\/p>\n

Canto 5<\/strong><\/p>\n

Horizontal plinks of guitar amongst the birds. Singing with half open eyes. Dissolves into monks again.<\/p>\n

The Royal Court Of Khru Pipeang Mon Yaihat<\/strong><\/p>\n

FEEDBACK. Guitar slowly sculpted into shapes. Odd tonk of drumkit, gradual bang bang over guitar scream. Battered drums, slowly. Then a lot. The scream over everything.<\/p>\n

For Maria Mednyanszky<\/strong><\/p>\n

Snooker balls? Ping pong balls? Fired against walls and the ricochet noise gradually reverbed into some amazing minimal psychotic techno track. Yeah!<\/p>\n

He Can’t Bowl And He Can’t Throw<\/strong><\/p>\n

SKRONK. Reed obliterated and drumkit fucked to death. Dystopian funk, almost.<\/p>\n

Dilophonotini \/ Moacroglossini \/ Philampelini<\/strong><\/p>\n

Plinking of guitars. Weird train toots. Ghost humming chorus. Coming together of heads. The desert again.<\/p>\n

The Gossamer Albatross<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cosmic guitar drone. Spaced clangs, rippling bass notes. On and on and on. Strafed by static. A bubble against the world.<\/p>\n

The Bosonic Temple Of King Soloman<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rifling through a junk shop. Scattering metal and strings. Into…<\/p>\n

The Quick Witted But Slow Footed Bill Brenzel<\/strong><\/p>\n

… looming bass throb. Stalking, thudding steps. Dread echoes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A Recipe For *blank*<\/strong><\/p>\n

Strange, filleted sounds. Drones taking it out then receding. Cracked blues guitar over the wreckage, played for the heck of it. Chatter and shimmer underneath. Lovely lovely lovely.<\/p>\n

Live In Penarth 26.02.11<\/strong><\/p>\n

Coming drone\/feedback\/drum scrape. Metallic mirage. Distant cries, becoming melody. Building. Wish I was there.<\/p>\n
