do you think it's rude or just not something you are accustomed to doing yourself? (also, did you go to horse lords this weekend?!?)
― global tetrahedron, Tuesday, 13 June 2017 18:10 (six years ago) link
both (though not rude necessarily, just quite forward on Roy Montgomery's facebook page, and definitely not something I would do myself)
i did!!! the place was packed for the second opening act, but all those people spilled out and we went in. i was right directly in the front and it was extremely enjoyable. they didn't play the song i wanted to hear from the mixtape iV, but it was super long and probably edited together. which brings me to this point: they seem CANnier every time I see them. People were going bananas dancing too. made me want a cowbell and rototoms, haha!! looks like they aren't that expensive either...

(also his earlier stuff before he went all television fits pretty well)

actually maybe this is of thread interest -- the night before i saw heather leigh and peter brötzmann and they were great. her guitar playing was super interesting to watch (her hands in particular) and sounded really cool. lots of pedals on the pedal steel. brötzmann brötzmanned as he does. they played for an hour!
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 21:09 (six years ago) link
yeah cbesinger played me a heather leigh pedal steel album, so good
that show sounds amazing
― Universal LULU Nation (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 21:11 (six years ago) link
they set up on the floor! i was like 2 feet from her, maybe 10 from him and i had to move and sit behind them. it was intense!
― weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Tuesday, 13 June 2017 21:12 (six years ago) link
yeah, i'd like to see them play! all for more adventurous pedal steel stuff
― tylerw, Tuesday, 13 June 2017 21:15 (six years ago) link
new forsyth song reminds me a little bit of the longer cavern of antimatter material
― global tetrahedron, Tuesday, 13 June 2017 21:41 (six years ago) link
when i saw leigh and brotzmann last week a) it was super awesome but b) it kinda felt a couple times like heather was setting him up to just go off and level the place last exit style but he didn't, stayed (reasonably) tuneful and restrained.
i couldn't really see her (bad folding-chair type venue) but achieving a brotzmannian level of shabbiness in my old age is like #1 goal now

So this Chuck Johnson ambient pedal steel album hits stores soon, right? I need it! Was going to just pick it up at a local shop if I could.
― Evan, Wednesday, 14 June 2017 19:45 (six years ago) link

Yeah I rep hard for her solo record I Abused Animal love it. I kind wish she sang as well when playing with Brotzmann, esp cuz I love hearing Brotz against a wide, expressive voice, a la Haino, but so the two Brotzmann/Leigh records are absolutely some of my most favorite music of late. He really has found a new gear I think playing with her. When I saw them last yr he uncorked an amazing flurry of notes that could have been fucking David Sanborn they were so smooth & pretty and then dipped back into his raw tone. So fucking good.
And yes Brotzmann is an underrated fashion icon.

sarah louise/sally anne morgan project House and Land out tomorrow!
https://sarahlouise.bandcamp.com/album/house-and-land
― Universal LULU Nation (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 15 June 2017 18:34 (six years ago) link
House And Land is not what I expected, vocal-heavy with minimal guitar work
― sleeve, Friday, 16 June 2017 01:32 (six years ago) link
I think it's quite wonderful, Kossoy sisters gone microtonal
― global tetrahedron, Thursday, 22 June 2017 20:13 (six years ago) link
Surprised by how much I enjoyed it on first listen.
― No purposes. Sounds. (Sund4r), Sunday, 25 June 2017 19:26 (six years ago) link
it veers into the drone/avant territory so subtly. wasn't a fan of sally morgan's vocals on the releases with mike gangloff but they work really well here.
― global tetrahedron, Monday, 26 June 2017 16:32 (six years ago) link
Dig the House and Land record a lot. Good stuff. Really enjoying what I have heard of the new Orcutt as well.
― grandavis, Monday, 26 June 2017 16:36 (six years ago) link
Couple of nice guitar-based releases on Cabin Floor Esoterica just came out.
Rootless (good analogy is maybe Danny Paul Grody side of acoustic action, but need to listen a bit more to drive the larger picture): https://cabinflooresoterica.bandcamp.com/album/cfe-66-sculptures-deep-within-the-cave
― grandavis, Monday, 26 June 2017 16:48 (six years ago) link
East of the Valley Blues: https://cabinflooresoterica.bandcamp.com/album/cfe-63-rivereto-de-konscio
Duo of brothers who improvise on acoustic guitar. Has a pretty free flowing minimal approach but gets into some cool interplay. Really into the sound generally, and they hit some real sweet spots.
― grandavis, Monday, 26 June 2017 16:50 (six years ago) link
east of the valley blues is great, would like to hear more stuff like this- not a ton of americana signifiers but still fits here well
― global tetrahedron, Monday, 26 June 2017 20:42 (six years ago) link
Yeah, I am really into it. Their previous record is really good too.

I got a friendly email from Paradise of Bachelors on Friday about this, which I had no clue was getting released until that very moment:http://media.paradiseofbachelors.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/06014624/PoB-34-LP-jacket-web.jpg
Listening now, and I really sort of love it a lot. Has a very Bert Jansch-esque stateliness to it that I didn't expect at all. Really wonderful.
― Austin, Sunday, 2 July 2017 15:49 (six years ago) link
Oooh I didn't know that was out, very excited
― Universal LULU Nation (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Sunday, 2 July 2017 16:44 (six years ago) link
I love his voice, so it's especially nice to hear him singing again.
― Austin, Sunday, 2 July 2017 17:51 (six years ago) link
Finally found out where my buddy Alexander (well, David when not playing solo guitar) has his tapes stashed on bandcamp. Really love his playing:
https://davidalexanderguitars.bandcamp.com/album/the-pale-light-over-the-dark-hills
― grandavis, Friday, 21 July 2017 18:53 (six years ago) link
Also, hey everyone. Long time no posting.
― grandavis, Friday, 21 July 2017 18:54 (six years ago) link
Dig Alexander because a) he is not afraid to play slow and stately (though he can pick when he decides to) and b) he hits some cool intervals and phrasing that seem kinda unique to him (though I mean it ain't reinventing the wheel or anything). Just a feel I can really really hang with. Also plays in the out guitar duo Nagual, but mainly he gets up to acoustic jams when he goes solo.
