was totally expecting the wife to freak out when she came home w/ the sick child, she was all happy for him that he kept the dress, haha

the closest thing I can think of to BBML also lumped in the freak folk category would be this all-time jomf track. ultra gentle groove

cool! i've never really checked jackie o out. was put off by the wire magazine's fascination w/ the band name, felt like they dropped it all the time without actual reference to the music to feel cool or something.
― marcos, Friday, 6 June 2014 19:59 (nine years ago) link
that's definitely my favourite, they weren't always that chill though. there are bits on sticks & stones... by the no-neck blues band that hint towards a bit more to this sort of mellow groove but they never quite went there.

bit more toof this

I didn't have any knowledge of "freak folk" when I heard bbml, remember they reminded me of air (a band I grouped a lot of stuff around at that time, like black moth super rainbow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mqk2tewN1A)

sry i tried to https the black moth video didnt work out i see
connan mockasin track is great, will check out the album - really grew on me when watching the High Maintenance episode.
Common denominator could be a specific type of really mellow psychedelia.

maybe also bbml fans would be into Darkside?http://youtu.be/d8NaWT0WvEE

was listening to bill callahan's dream river last night and it satisfies a similar need

not as stoned though. still very deep, groovy, and mellow
― marcos, Thursday, 17 July 2014 15:24 (nine years ago) link
Well, there is a dub version of that album.

I always want to recommend La Hell Gang's "Thru Me Again" in this thread but it's really only the first two songs that have a (slightly) similar vibe. And it's definitely more rocky, especially as the album progresses into Atacama desert psych rock with a heavy Spacemen 3/Loop influence.
― The Man Who Saw The Midwife (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Friday, 4 August 2017 11:56 (six years ago) link
Strange synchronicity for this revive. I just yesterday bought the Brightblack S/T and Loop 'Gilded Eternity' CDs to jam in the car while driving around a very hot and wildfire hazy Seattle. Sounds like I need to check LA Hell Gang.

Thanks for the La Hell Gang recommendation - three tracks in and I'm sold.https://lahellgang.bandcamp.com

Cool! And definitely check them out YL, it's good stuff.

Is anybody else into the original Rainywood recordings from 2002? Not the split with Bonny Billy but the self-released self-titled album? I'm fairly sure I downloaded them on the naturalismo blog like ten years ago, but I came across the MP3's on an old HD this week. I can't find an upload of them anywhere on google, it would be cool to throw them up onto youtube. I think I might do that.

Never heard that stuff. Was it widely released?

it's one of the few things on my discogs want list but i've never heard it.

i recall the 2006 album being a bit of a disappointment to me after a lot of listening to that one, though now the earlier stuff feels like a bit of an of-its-time new weird america artefact (not that i have anything against those) while the 2006 album still feels v distinct.
fondly remember seeing them play at an atp and shineywater getting increasingly irritated by the loud + inattentive audience, finally at the end going on a rant, except he still had reverb and delay all over his vocals, so who knows what he actually said.

Yeah you're right Elvis! I haven't been on slsk in a long time. You know what I still can't find? The 2010 split cassette with solo Nathan and Berry Shadows with Hope + Colm. I remembering 'preordering' that thing from Nathan via Myspace way back then and I'd say like a year later received a refund out of blue with a message that they oversold their stock, was very sad at the time. Have still held out to this day trying to avoid those x3 discogs costs :(

This show—the way it was recorded, who they played with, everything about it—has always been some of my favorite BBML material. Slow and moody self-titled era songs. Mariee Sioux was sitting with them on this set. Brings back a lot of memories from college listening to this thing.
― Neal Cassady, Tuesday, 19 December 2017 16:43 (six years ago) link
nice, thanks. I have a live recording I made of them on tour with a trombone player, I should get that out there.

Hey Sleeve, I never saw your reply about your live recording. Wow, yes please—I'd love to hear that! I am on a hunt for hearing everything BBML-related. Here I will start. Last year I finally got a copy of that Nathan Shineywater/Hope Sandoval/Colm O’Ciosoig cassette and have just uploaded it to youtube.

My favorite BML experience was years ago I was playing the CD for a friend at the end of a long summer evening of drinking. We were sitting on the back deck, my friend was wearing the glasses that came with the CD, and he was lighting cigarettes off of a citronella candle in a metal bucket that had been going all night. In the morning light I found that he had accidentally dumped a huge mess of citronella wax all over the table, which ran through the wooden table slats and hardened all over the deck. Good times.
