Rolling Psych/Drone/Freak Thread 2011

Anyone heard the new Mountains album yet? I've heard just one track - sounds like they've ditched the Stars of the Lid guitar ambient thing and opted for synths/kosmiche. Either way it sounds good and I'm excited to hear the whole thing.

this is otm, i thought it was kinda zzzzz though. not bad, just not exceptional. but i need to listen again. i was in 90 degree texas sun about 20 miles/4 hours into a run when i played it before. not exactly ideal.

just got word of a Sun Araw + Eternal Tapestry collaboration, psyched

Huh. Etap dudes sat in with Sun Araw at the house here a couple months back. Went pretty good.

Oh wait, no. High Wolf. Nmind.

The friendship of Eternal Tapestry and Sun Araw's Cameron Stallones goes back to the Not Not Fun curated Neon Commune Fest, January 2007 at the much loved, and missed, Echo Curio in Eagle Rock, LA. Eternal Tapestry shared the second night's bill with Cameron's old band Magic Lantern (Barn Owl and Pocahaunted rounded out the night's festivities!), and the two psych crews hit it off immediately. LA shows were played together every time Eternal Tapestry made it south. Fast forward to Austin, TX for SXSW 2010 when Eternal Tapestry shared a bizarre afternoon parking lot gig with Sun Araw. The Tapestry had a live broadcast in-studio session lined up on KVRX student radio that night, and in true Tapestry fashion they invited their buddy Cameron to join in.

The session took place in a large TV studio on the UT campus, with the band setting up in a big circle. The line-up was Dewey Mahood and Nick Bindeman on guitars, Jed Bindeman on drums, Ryan Carlile on tenor sax, Yoni Kifle on bass, and Cameron Stallones on keyboard and trademark flute. After a brief discussion of mood, the six musicians improvised together for 45 minutes continuously. The music is heard as played that evening - no overdubs, and only a few edits to create a four section suite for the LP release. The piece is titled Night Gallery, in homage to the surreal early 1970's TV show produced by Rod Serling of Twilight Zone fame. It was this program that the six musicians fell asleep to, and woke up with, during their five day stay in Austin.

the UT campus: breeding ground for the no-wave bands of the future.

egg eggs in the store the other night. rare video footage of me on ilx while they play.

Just wanted to say, in this thread, that the Follakzoid ep on Sacred Bones is pretty great. Neu! and stuff.

I loved Pulse Emitter's Spiritual Vistas but his new one (Forest, Mountain, Valley) on Tranquility Tapes is something else...

omg that totally reminds me -

they still exist!

Yeah, the new pulse emitter tape is really something. Was listening to an older cd-r and it was pleasant but the difference between that an the newer material is pretty night and day. Excess fat has been trimmed, the tempos have slowed, and it all just feels much less improvised and I couldn't be happier
. Every sound just where it should be.

not 2011 but the Riley-isms of Le Révélateur are hitting my psychedelic sweet-spot at the moment.

anyone heard of a group called 'paperhead' from nashville? very 60s sound with some really nice organ/synth

Yeah I've been digging their lp a lot lately..

Their debut didn't ring my bell as much as I thought it would, but still pretty good.

Promoters in this town need their heads banging together imo:

> julian cope tue 18th oct concorde £19.00
> bardo pond tue 18th oct hector’s house £ 9.50
> circle tue 18th oct green door store £8.50

yeah didn't the clean play at the free butt for 4 quid just last year? whats gone wrong?

oh hang on. wrong end of the stick.

You're right though, the prices have gone slightly daft too. Last time I saw Bardo Pond here, there was only a handful of folks. Guessing it might be less this time what with the Finnish competition. Have no idea what sort of a following they have in the UK these days though.

Circle is the obvious choice there IMO. Not really a tough decision at all.

I know right? Poor the Bardo Pond.

yeah, circle are one of my favorite live bands.

I heard Bardo Pond is amazing live?

Currently loving the new Primordial Undermind LP Last Worldly Bond, off to see them tonight.

new Primordial Undermind album ????!!!

if Paik comes out with a new album will someone please tell me?

new Primordial Undermind album ????!!!

oh aye, been out a few months. they are based in Vienna now (where I live).

I heard Bardo Pond is amazing live?

aye!

Bardo Pons was completely amazing live last time I saw them, unfortunately that was 1999, so I can't speak as to the last ten years.

Speaking of stuff that's really old, here's The Roswell Incident (me and Elvis Telecom, live samples from Mr. Mackro and a couple guests.)

http://theroswellincident.bandcamp.com/

Recorded in 1996. There may be some more forthcoming. Mostly put this up on as a lark.

No, I haven't been around in awhile. I'll see if I can fix that.

"Bardo Pons" Heh. That might me a mislogism worth keeping.

Seen Bardo Pond a ton of times, only been less than amazing once.

enjoying the new Night Beats album:

also Wooden Shjips' West, but everyone knows about them.

Missed all the Bardo Pond and Roswell talk but yes to all of it. And Primordial as well.

And since Ned has mentioned it, the lost TRANSANTARCTIC by The Roswell Incident was just posted to their bandcamp page. Snag it while it's free. Link's just a couple entries above.

This new Locrian record - is the first song supposed to be 8 minutes of fierce hiss or is it just a Spotify glitch?

Must be a Spotify fail. There's a lot of intentional hiss on the other three tracks but not much on the first one. Just lots of guitar, drums and chanting, suitable to conjure the deity of your choice.

Gentle nudge to Ned for a 2012 thread...

It wouldn't feel right starting one myself!

did anyone start a new thread for the new year? Because Austin Psychfest lineup is a corker this year (as always).

I dont think so...? I think someone has talked about it here though recently.

Where's Ned when you need him?

Save us Neddy Fever!

Does this cover the same ground?
