ILX Gonna Shine in My Backdoor Someday (new post-Fahey folk for ppl posting in Takoma/Tompkins Square threads Pt II)

okay normally i'm a bit bashful about sharing my stuff in here but i truly feel good about this set... takes a bit to get really cooking but i think it works. excited to have found a live 'sound' that works for me. using two amps and splitting my signal between various effects rather than just blasting all this noise into one amp with a sorta limited dynamic range

https://stevepalmer.bandcamp.com/album/live-november-2015

Sounds great!! I need to get back into recording, too. Thanks for sharing.

yeah, gonna check this out! when's yr next album coming out?

Yeah Global, that sound is great! Always nice to hit on stuff that opens things up sonically. Nice trajectory to the set too, great job.

Also, for anyone not aware, the Tashi Dorji/Marisa Anderson split is up for streaming:

Haven't listened yet, but this is very much "my kinda thing" so I am psyched (but I already ordered the record so I mean I am gonna have plenty of time to lay into this one).

yeah, gonna check this out! when's yr next album coming out?

working on some more 'band' material... pretty out-there stuff. touchpoints are like harmonia and alice coltrane 'journey' but doesn't really sound like any of those, more along their loose-limbed vibe/texture. not rushing into anything though, definitely waiting for the good stuff to reveal itself

guessing at least one year out for a release?

harmonia and alice coltrane? eh, doesn't sound like it'll be good at all.

ya it'll suck

working less on 'songwriting' and more getting into a specific feeling/moment. doesn't hurt that my roommate is schooled in jazz!

Nice man, look forward to seeing where this winds up!

awesome I guess Tom Carter is playing Minneapolis at an art space during a record swap in November :):):):):):)

I'm going to see Vampire Belt on Sunday!

nace + corsano, right? i've never heard them actually -- what are they like? good i assume.

yup -- i don't know much about what they sound like either but i am interested in guitar-drums duos who mix composed with improvised so i'm looking forward to it
some quotes here to sum it up http://www.cor-sano.com/vampirebelt/

corsano is always worth seeing

yup
they've got a new record too

Whoa, would love to see that. And Tom Carter! Enjoy.

Haven't seen Corsano since 2012 or so, and that was solo (which was awesome!). Hope he cruises through here sometime in the not too distant future.

Did not know of Vampire Belt!

ctrl+f thread for "Joan" shows me I'm a couple months behind on this one, but: this Joan Shelley record, y'all. WOW.

yeah definitely one of the top 3 albums of 2015 for me. pretty much perfect.

you guys omg
i realize this thread is for more fingerpickin acoustic stuff but vampire belt scrambled my brains last night. i don't think chris corsano has any bones, he's like a glowing ageless alien supported by translucent cartilage. bill nace played sitting down and did all kinds of weird stuff that i can't describe very well because i am not a guitar player. the other guy who played (who was not local, unfortunately) was playing an electrified acoustic guitar and sounded like fuzzed out fricke/fichelscher. i talked his ear off :) idk if they're touring anywhere near y'all but i bought the new record (with change from the floor of my car) and i would definitely recommend it if you've got an appetite for some far out sounds.

that sounds awesome and honestly I think this thread is always appreciative of strains of improv/drone/underground rock that intersect w/american primitive and stuff, there's a lot of crossover anyway

but...to bring it back to some old school trill O.Gs choppin up game....for those of you in the southwest and west coast...

"Bow down when we come to your town
Bown down when I'm westward bound"

hahah oops I HAD A POINT really

http://s27.postimg.org/wcs75z9wz/takoma.png

damn Toulouse Engelhardt has some swagger
any actual dates announced for that?
and LL definitely keep that kinda stuff in this thread. feel like everyone here has generally similar (or at least intersecting) tastes when it comes to this stuff, whether it's the straight takoma action or more noisy/experimental things. ps i love this thread.

yeah I will check that Vampire Belt out, thanks LL

this is sounding pretty nice - https://tornlightrecords.bandcamp.com/album/bowles-turner-duo
The couple of Nathan Bowles and Ma Turner could not have meshed any better. Field recorded banjos, guitars and an omnipotent praise to the land these pieces were recorded in. Two delicate pieces filtered through the mountain's sounds.

oooooh

this is cool stuff

https://sahelsounds.bandcamp.com/album/abba-gargando

yesss, sounding killer.

This Joan Shelley is gorgeous. Thanks for the heads up.

that abba gargando is a nice little treat

man, yeah, really happening.

<3 Sahelsounds

yeah it's so good. on my like third listen today

on a sahelsounds note, mdou moctor is in the middle of a uk tour atm http://www.belmontbookings.nl/mdou-moctar-will-tour-europe-this-november/

sahelsounds! wow!

Abba Gargando still rockin it in this household

hey FYI from chris forsyth:

Continuing the Bandcamp updating and the final LP copies of Solar Motel (2013), Paradise of Bachelors) are now available. This record is technically out of print, sold out at POB, so these are the last copies I have (tho you might find some sitting in stores or online here or there). I've got 17 copies** with your name on them, including DL card. Then, bye, bye, no more copies. Buy direct or cruise over to POB's Bandcamp for CD or digital:

http://chrisforsyth1.bandcamp.com/album/solar-motel-3

**make that 16 because i just bought one

killer record still -- though i might actually prefer the Solar Live release (which is up on bandcamp now too!)

Yeah I bought that on vinyl when I was at the show wish the sound was better

is the sound not good? i might be so used to audience tapes that it seems solid to me.
speaking of audience tapes: http://www.nyctaper.com/2015/11/chris-forsyth-the-solar-motel-band-november-12-2015-the-bowery-ballroom-new-show-announcement/

they had a gut-punch sound live that i don't think many bootleg-ish recordings can match.

couple of the new tracks have vocals, that's interesting

I shouldn't have said bad, just I think I bought it at a particularly epic show and it felt small when I heard it at home

I would like to upgrade my praise of the abba gargando release on bandcamp, it's fantastic

Nice to see some action here! Looks like Abba Gargando is top of the list.

glad people dig! very much a fit with the volk guitar spotify playlist that ogmor made, which you should hop on if you haven't already

A friend recently passed away and as I was tearfully going through his old YouTubes, this one made think of this thread.

Hopefully that link works.

Yay, it did.

that's a great clip
sorry your friend passed away austin
