Latest slabs....

Added a few new discs to the library lately, thought I'd go over a few of them with you's...
As usual, I'm a little behind on the shit I write about, say, somewhere's between two and twenty two years...
So what. Just shut up.
Relax and listen to this shit.

Again, I AM NOT A REVEIW GUY!!!! I am just some asshole in Minnesota...

First off, is an album described as "a dark meditation on Americana. It’s the blues shaped by the avant-compositions of La Monte Young and Dylan Carlson. It’s drone rooted deep in the American tradition." , I'll see that, and raise you three words:

Sweet Desert Drone.

Headdress - "Lunes" 

Ethereal is correct. Makes me want to be laying in the desert at night, and staring at the sky. (guess you'd have to been there...)
 It's the music to that foggy patch of vision between the hot air and the ground you can only see from a distance. At the same time it makes me want to push my tubes to the limit and see if I can't come up with some "otherworldly" type of feedback.. You know, that noise of electricity.....
Yeah. I like it. I recommend it. 
I will, and you should, support these cats.

On the subject of A New Americana or for that matter, the sound of open road, Wino and Connie Ochs collaborate for a release on Latitudes. 

"Labor of Love" came about, so the story goes, as Wino was touring for his acoustic album, "Adrift", (which was written as a means for him to drive away personal demons) with Ochs acting as driver/Support act/confidant. 


These mark their first recordings as a result of that time together. 


This album is cleansing. A self-forgiveness, a moment to allow yourself the peace that is necessary. I can without a doubt tell that this was written in a soul searching period, and as anyone who would say pain will evoke the truest art, as is so with healing. So will the act of living itself. to live true, is to be true. Get it? Good.
Because that's what this album feels like.


It also comes in a great package. Not only the vinyl, but the C.D. as well. 500 copies
Die-cut cover w/ foil stamp. 180 gram Green vinyl.
