...this disc is part of Deep Waters' split series, which features a couple discs of aural compatriots splitting time over a single disc. In this case, Century Plants open things with two tracks before The Qoast get the last word with an extended blast themselves. ...

This is the third wave of Deep Water’s split release series, and the second to span the mighty Atlantic Ocean. Those boys down there at DW HQ sure do have their heads on straight (or maybe they’ve spun ‘em around a couple of times), because this one’s a real doozy! Pairing the tremendously huge guitar drone from upstate NY’s Century Plants with the deep forest psych of French rising stars The Qoast (also known as Ghost Brâmes) was a damn wise decision. Two duos meeting mid-Atlantic, instruments raised in salute – sounds like a plan!! ...

Agitated Radio Pilot is the moniker of David Colohan, also known for his work in the group United Bible Studies and in this instance exploring his solitude in a double CDR of thick drone and folk. Colohan shifts between meandering instrumentals, song, a cappella and the occasional burst of noise but his vision remains surprisingly coherent over 80 + minutes. ...

Originally released in 2005 on their own Deserted Village label, "Airs of Sun and Stone" is one long live improvised piece, recorded in St Johns Church Limerick as part of the Limerick Arts Festival. ... As with all their releases this is highly recommended to anyone with a passion for music that comes directly from the heart, a glorious trip that will soothe and inspire you.

As most of you will know, Agitated Radio Pilot is the outlet for the solo work of David Colohan, also known as the vocalist for United Bible Studies. On this Double CD he mixes a keen ear for melody with drones, experimentation and a healthy imagination, creating a work of timeless magnificent beauty.

Indoorpark is a duo from Detroit consisting of guitarist Nick Schillace and drummer Jon Moshier, who is also credited with "audio", which I assume means the spoken word samples in some of the songs ("The Long Boy And The Fat Boy" features some extensive Jimmy Swaggert sampling). The album's seven tracks generally stretch out past six or seven minutes, and feature tightly arranged, well played instrumental rock....

Bookend releases of a set of Evening Fires material out now on the two great labels.

Digitalis Limited (Oklahoma)

ltd#13: evening fires "figures of earth" cd-r $8 <-click for ordering info

evening fires is a quartet of pennsylvanians, featuring members of clear spots and nessmuk, as well as the brains behind the deep water acres website & label. they're busy guys, but still found the time last summer and fall to crank out a set of backporch jams and slipstream electric boogaloos. they get help on banjo and mandolin on a few tracks, too, beefing up the downhome goodness.

what really makes "figures of earth" such a stunning album is the diversity that doesn't take away from the overall flow. kraut-infused songs fit seemlessly next to something reminiscent of the black twigs. they don't fight it out, they just keep it mellow and roll on down the way. using an array of instrumentation from guitars, synths, and drums to saxophone, bodhran, and tabla, you get a lot of mileage out of these 47 minutes. the perfect soundtrack to your summer roadtrip. limited to 73 handnumbered copies.

[Anvil Salute] is back again with a long-player, ‘This is the Voice of Doom Calling’. Anvil Salute, here a sextet (weren’t they always?), playing an ample smattering of ten tracks in various shapes and sizes, while holding tight to their core repertoire of hazy, lazy Americana instrumentals: . . .
