Details

DEBUT RELEASE FROM THE MUSICAL ARM OF MYSTERIOUS LOUISVILLE, KY-BASED KOLEKTIF BLACK VELVET FUCKERE. MEMBERS HAVE COLLABORATED WITH AND CODDLED SUCH TALENTS AS ROBERT FRIPP, EUGENE CHADBOURNE AND DAVID PAJO. THE FALL OF 06 SAW THEIR DEBUT RELEASE, A SEVEN-INCH ON BVF ENTITLED TONGUE-TIED & STAID THAT HAD A FEW ASTUTE BLOGGERS COMPARING THE ACTION WITHIN TO 'AGGRESSIVE BLUES ALA CAPTAIN BEEFHEART AND THE MAGIC BAND.' HOWEVER, FOR THIS SELF-TITLED FULL-LENGTH RELEASE, SAPAT HAS OPTED FOR A DIFFERENT, MORE ORGANIC SONIC WAFT. ACOUSTICALLY PACKED TO THE GILLS, THE OCTET EFFORTLESSLY STRUMS AND BLOWS BREEZY VIBES, EMITTING KOSMISCH MELODIES AND TEUTONIC AMBIENCE THAT CHANNEL JULIAN COPE-LIKE PAST GIANTS SUCH AS LIMBUS 4, SILOAH AND LORD KRISHNA VON GOLOKA (YOU KNOW, THE A-TEAM OF KRAUTROCK). ONCE YOU LAUNCH INTO THE GROUP'S SPACEY AND ENTRANCING, YET CALMING AND SOOTHING ASTEROID BELT, YOU MIGHT MISTAKE THE OZARKS FOR THE ALPS IF YOU'RE NOT CAREFUL. AND WHO COULD BLAME YOU? YOU'RE WAY UP THERE AND THE AIR'S THIN; HALLUCINATING'S A MUST. ONE-TIME VINYL PRESSING OF 600 COPIES WITH COVERS HAND-SCREENED BY THE BAND

SPAWNED FROM THE FORMIDABLE LOUISVILLE, KY COLLECTIVE KNOWN AS BLACK VELVET FUCKERE (VALLEY OF THE ASHES, PHANTOM FAMILY HALO, KARK, ETC.), SAPAT RESIDES AS THE CENTRIFUGAL FORCE IN THIS MIDWESTERN PSYCHEDELIC MADRIGAL SET IN THE PSYCHOSEXUAL BACKWATERS OF THE MIGHTY OHIO RIVER. FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE 00 DECADE, MEMBERS HAVE KEPT BUSY COLLABORATING WITH AND/OR MASSAGING THE EGOS OF VARIOUS AND SUNDRY AVANT-PONTIFFS SUCH AS ROBERT FRIPP, MAGIK MARKERS, DEAD CHILD (DAVID PAJO?S METAL BAND.) AND EUGENE CHADBOURNE WHEN NOT HONING THE ORGONE ENERGY OF SAPAT.
