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

yeah they work slow... I know they've played gigs in the last year, but the last album is 2012.

Most of the way through the Cass McCombs fronted Skiffle Players record that just came out and I think the regulars here will enjoy it. Though it's probably a good one to save for when it's safe to drive with the windows down again. Nice and breezy, mostly.

some new-to-me guitar-y stuff I'm enjoying today ...
https://hiiragi-fukuda.bandcamp.com/album/personal-server

sounds very nice so far

yeah! not sure if it *goes* anywhere in particular, but that is OK in my book.

It is very pleasant to have music that doesn't "go" anywhere sometimes. Gonna check this out!

This could totally be a movie soundtrack. A good movie too.

Well maybe not track 5.

does the dirty three still exist? seems like it's been a few years since they did anything ... though maybe that is the norm for them.

I saw some live pics on my FB feed from a gig in Australia I want to say last week, but yeah I think them being spread all over the world and Ellis having his hands full being N.Cave's musical lieutenant seems to make everything take a very long time.

I've seen White play in a bunch of different contexts (Dirty 3, Nina Nastasia, Bonnie Prince Billy, Smog, Xylouris, etc) he is always awesome. Probably my fave musician was bummed to miss them last night.

The Ilyas Ahmed / Matt Carlson (of Golden Retriever) collab that was briefly mentioned about a year ago is coming out at the end of the month.

Imagine Tim Buckley sitting in on the first Cluster recording session or Neil Young with the Taj Mahal Travelers as Crazy Horse covering Popol Vuh and you are almost there.

Actually both members of GR are involved.

cian and cosmos were absolutely fucking amazing on friday night – best i've ever seen them by a distance.

sorry to ask this question a thousand times but was it the same drummer? david lacey i think his name is?
this appears to be the same guy from the style
dig this music and the rock wall too!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4bMM9a0F8o

yep it was David Lacey. I was there too! and it was amazing alright. Hi monti!

Awesome -- the Cosmos accompanying him on the whole tour, I hope.

Apparently Chasny is playing in Elisa Ambrogio's band opening for Xylouris White tonight. Really good show getting better.

New Chuck Johnson full band album available for streaming here, with a good interview/overview of the record:

http://adhoc.fm/post/chuck-johnson-interview/

Liking the first track the least, and the pedal-steel/synth inflected stuff the best so far, but only about halfway through. Nice loose feel to it though, and definitely bits of his past in this here and there (Shark Quest in particular).

digging this new psych-folky cassette via dying for bad music: http://dyingforbadmusic.com/dfbm24-crystalline-roses-two-man-cult.phtml

the most bummer part of when soundcloud goes down is not getting marcus's DFBM soundcloud round-up mixes, he finds so much cools stuff

holy crap xylouris white.

there were a ton of like greek guido dudes in the audience who sang along with a bunch of the songs, to the point where gx engaged them in call-and-response thing for a while. it was super fun and watching those guys play together is a joy. dude is obviously a ridiculously talented player and jim white remains jim white. my wife compared his playing to a less frantic milford graves which i thought was interesting.

elisa ambrogio + chasny + violinist + drummer was great too, worth the price of admission alone. great new song, weird jangly arrangements of songs from the solo lp, one mega noise jam.

seemed like the kind of show the nyctaper guys would record, if it gets posted i highly recommend it.

yeah there was a heavy greek contingent at the show i saw last year -- maybe every greek person in Denver was there. I think the name "Xylouris" carries some serious weight in the community.

and speaking of the greeks! this compilation, which just came out, is incredible. some stuff on there that would make albert ayler shake his head in wonder.

hey i just ordered that! did we read the same aquarium drunkard interview with the compiler? dude also involved in recording recent stuff that's pretty good:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWp3EXjis4o&list=PLy1iw4kZ1JZTMChh7Z4KaXiJSy6xNJ1cg&index=3

yeah, that interview is great -- I actually wrote up those field recordings for AD last year (http://www.aquariumdrunkard.com/2015/05/27/going-greek-field-recordings-from-epirus-2014/). pretty much everything Chris King puts together seems to be amazing. The Alexis Zoumbas disc is incredible.

primeval !

My Gimmer Nicholson LP arrived today and wow, have I ever fallen in love with this record. I liked it right away, but the more I listen, the more I love it. Vinyl sounds great, too.

I was looking for this in the shop over the weekend. Apparently the release was delayed, so they didn't have it now I don't have it :(

a little late to the party here but this gimmer nicholson album is so incredible

Yeah man, REALLY glad I bought that Gimmer album. It will tide me over as my go-to guitar album until the new Glenn Jones comes out.

Also, new Forsyth & Solar Motel Band has me more psyched for that upcoming record. Had cooled on them a bit (two of the original members no longer being in the band being part of the reason) but I really like this one. Moodier and less showy, just lots of tasteful playing and nice chords etc. Sounds like 70's Dead at times (to me at least, some pretty clear nods though), but don't let that turn you off hah hah:

unless that writeup is erroneous seems steven urgo still plays on the record? that's great, he's so good

yeah he's on the new one, but there's a new drummer with the band now... he goes out on a high note -- some great playing on there.

this sounds pretty cool: https://soundcloud.com/deadoceans/ryley-walker-dhoodan/s-iFORy
Charles Rumback & Ryley Walker "Cannots"- instrumentals w/ walker on guitar and rumback on drums...

digging the walker/rumback tune. between this and xylouris white last week--what are some really good records that highlight expressive drumming/guitar interplay like this?

you checked out 75 Dollar Bill yet? they are amazing. try Wooden Bag (which is all duo stuff).
https://75dollarbill.bandcamp.com/

& those gunn-truscinski LPs are terrific too.

oh yeah 75 dollar bill are awesome, totally forgot about that record!

Gunn/Truscinski is so damn good! Gonna go listen right now:

https://threelobed.bandcamp.com/album/ocean-parkway

yeah, in retrospect, those records were game changers for me

wow good call, that's great

I'm playing in a drums- guitar duo tomorrow night and we're v expressive ;)

Yeah man, "Ocean Parkway" hits a lot of sweet spots for me. Wonderful record.

Also, make sure you record that La Lechera! I would love to hear it.

I'll try!!

yeahhhh!
not that this is really the thread for it but who cares, everyone's gonna love this new sahel sounds thing, really beautiful!

"New Dimensions in Fingerstyle Volume One" compilation put together by Nigel Spencer of North Country Primitive. He did a great job on this all around!

https://northcountryprimitive.bandcamp.com/album/new-dimensions-in-fingerstyle-volume-one

5 artists on that comp from Minneapolis! #represent

nice, will check that out.

cool...

btw there's a new reissue of Avocet by Bert Jansch, 79 album I'd not heard

wow, to me it's on the level of Gimmer Nicholson (not in that it's at all similar stylistically) in terms of you gotta hear this...it's him, a guy on mandacello and some other string instruments and the ever awesome danny thompson on drums...very loose exploratory jammy feel...best way i could describe it is imagine the band from Astral Weeks exploring more celtic music territory without a singer...but yeah if you love Jansch/Pentangle/etc this is a must-hear....

I'd imagine 79 was a real low ebb in terms of Jansch's fashionability so maybe that's why i've never heard it

just gorgeous music....again not similar stylistically but if you dug born with a caul era cian nugent youd'd dig this

a little talk on the jansch thread about it, really great record.
