that's the first one. totally don't care about the "narrative" personally, I think that album in particular SOUNDS great and has a lot of subtle things going on.

i'll be sure to remember not to invite them to my birthday party next time i'm listening to their record.

I guess they seemed chill enuf to you tho max? it's always just weird to me when I hear somebody and I think "it'd be great to tour with these guys" and I ask around and ppl're like "no man you don't want that"

they don't even have it listed on their website discography.anyone heard this: 2009 N.Shineywater Handmade Cassette Ep Featuring Rachel Grimes Piano ?

i wish this band still existed, feel like they had another 10 albums of the same chill vibe in them

I'm liking a couple of tracks there, but man is this miles removed from the soulful drift of Brightblack.
Yes. Exactly.

― Damo Suzuki's Parrot, Saturday, 6 April 2013 10:45 (eleven years ago) link
so i dabbled with these guys here and there over the past 6 years or so, something was intriguing at first but ultimately felt kind of boring. but one of their tunes off the first record came on the ipod this morning when i was changing my son's diaper and for like a cloudy 6am wake-up while i was still half alseep it was really the most perfect music i could hear. i've spent most of the day listening to the rest of it and also the second record. these guys are amazing!
― marcos, Friday, 11 October 2013 18:51 (ten years ago) link
maybe it's all the MV & EE and sun araw i've been listening to that opened me up to them. also i kind of love that they are totally weird spaced-out hippies? like that's exactly how i imagined them to be. all that shit upthread about the wilderness and arrowheads, i love it. so many people ITT were so conflicted between their weirdo worldviews. it's kind of perfect and fitting for this band IMO
― marcos, Friday, 11 October 2013 18:54 (ten years ago) link
both their albums are the first two minutes of "the low spark of high-heeled boys" over and over. but in a good way

Funny Marcos mentions listening to this very early in the morning with a young kid - I have a similar memory. They're a good soundtrack to the groggy but blissed out early parenthood stage.

played this stuff for the first time in yearsss while gardening over the weekend, so much love for them still.
weird that people aren't as familiar with the first record, it's by far my favorite and definitely the one i have the most sentimental attachment to. they popped up at some big sur folk fest thing around that time (2004?) and sorta blew everyone's minds, that organ sound + so much analog bassssssssss. one of the only records i was obsessed with at that time that i still am not ashamed to support.
does any of the other mid 2000s freak-folkish stuff hold up this well? i should probably bust out some sunburned hand of the man and tower recordings / mv+ee records too, but none of them establish this kind of ecstatic drone and consistent mood/texture. i guess bbml is more in the mazzy star / cowboy junkies vein of slow vibey country so maybe it's lazy to clump them in to freak folk, tho that was very much how they were received at the time

ala.cali.tucky? i've had a hard time finding it, still haven't heard it
― marcos, Friday, 6 June 2014 17:36 (ten years ago) link
freak folk was always a poor genre label. a lot of MV + EE records are good but 1.) not very consistent and 2.) in some cases, grossly derivative.
― marcos, Friday, 6 June 2014 17:38 (ten years ago) link
i can dig matt valentine's neil voice but i'd never pretend they are on par w/ BBML. mv + ee have some pretty great peaks though. gettin gone and space homestead are probably my favorite, though there is great stuff on most of their records
― marcos, Friday, 6 June 2014 17:39 (ten years ago) link
sun araw have a different vibe and repetoire than BBML but something like "on patrol" satisfies some similar needs for deep groovy blissed out spacey grooves
― marcos, Friday, 6 June 2014 17:41 (ten years ago) link
freak folk was always a poor genre label
definitely, lots and lots of stuff clumped in together that didn't make much sense as a whole. i like a lot of those records but you're definitely otm when you say
in some cases, grossly derivative
i think my main takeaway from that whole thing was basically "listen to the incredible string band ffs"
someone should do a good mv&ee comp tho, there are definitely some gems
― hug niceman (psychgawsple), Friday, 6 June 2014 17:45 (ten years ago) link
yea and even some of the grossly derivative stuff is good!
― marcos, Friday, 6 June 2014 17:46 (ten years ago) link
sun araw is a good comparison actually, tho yeah def different in many ways
