WOVEN BONES - 'MINUS TOUCH'

Formats

• ZM003 - 12"

  N/A

Details

In anticipation of the new album due soon on HOZAC, we brought in a limited amount of this EP on the ZOO MUSIC label: WOVEN BONES' ANDREW BURR says, "All of us in the band have spent way too much time with The Velvet Underground, ... (more) Link Wray, and other loud/primitive forms of rock and roll...The simple drum beats behind our songs are definitely inspired by the drumming of Mo Tucker and the primitive beats behind bands like The Shangr-Las and even Neu. I personally have been eternally infected by the music of the above mentioned bands and others like The Troggs, Simply Saucer, Spacemen 3, Les Rallizes Denudes, The Adverts, The Ramones, The Damned, The Gun Club, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and The Vaselines. I know subconsciously those things are always heavy influences on my song writing." Pressed on white vinyl. One way..ONLY

SOUTHERN TENANT FOLK UNION - 'THE NEW FARMING SCENE'

Formats

• JOROCK011 - CD

  5060130361254

Details

A groundbreaking album to start the new decade in an old-time acoustic fashion 'the new farming scene' creates the first true crossover of the modern folk tradition with it's not-so-distantly related bluegrass sound. Creating a worthy successor to their first two albums, the highly acclaimed self-titled debut and it's progressive follow-up 'revivals, rituals & union songs', southern tenant folk union, now based in edinburgh, and their sublime bluegrass instrumentation manage to bolster and enrich the old-time and traditional scottish folk melodies. Recorded sitting in a circle around vintage east german microphones live in the studio with lau sound engineer tim matthew, the stfu have captured the emotive and driving energy seen in their live performances. Thematically it harks back to the stark nature of their debut album and includes subjects such as murder (hardy), marriage (let me wipe the tears from your eyes) and a brutal return to the land (ta9). Ancient sounding vocals at once soulful, spirited and in keeping with the post-apocalyptic lyrical tone. THIS ALBUM IS THE BEST OF THEIR CAREER SO FAR AND IS AT ONCE AN UPLIFTING, ENGAGING AND DARKLY ADDICTIVE EXPERIENCE. A DOCUMENT OF THE NEW LOCATION THE BAND FINDS ITSELF IN AND OF THE TIMES AHEAD.

MOUNT CARMEL - 'S/T'

Details

The trio of Matthew Reed, Patrick Reed and Kevin Shubak- heretofore known as Mount Carmel-hails from Columbus, Ohio, but if you're expecting lo-fi, greaser's palace pop ? la Psychedelic Horseshit or Times New Viking, think again. Mount Carmel is a straight-up blues rock power trio. And by straight-up we mean sans revisionist three-dollar currency, Sub Pop grunge hybridization or ironic posturing. These guys have been weened on a diet almost steadfastly consisting of British blues/rock innovators: Peter Green-era Bluesbreakers, Cream and Ten Years After are immediately recognizable in their sound (in fact, the latter's "Hear Me Calling" is covered on here). This isn't a lark or something these guys are doing between noise projects-it's their life. Good, old-fashioned rock 'n' roll, plain and simple. Some folks never made time for punk, just like you've always snubbed your nose at the drum solo. Hard to believe, right? But just because you didn't live through it the first time doesn't mean you're not doomed to repeat it. The piquancy of '70s-era redbud fusing with the aroma of banana- (or strawberry-) scented paper burning and hanging in the air, the sweet cascade of Ripple hitting the back of your throat, the blurry exotica of Rorer's ubiquitous 714? it's all here, undeniably, unpretentiously and unwittingly realized. In fact, their sound is so genuine, you'll swear you were dead! Or at the very least unborn. Dig it. ? Debut album of straight-up blues rock 'n' roll from Columbus, Ohio, three-piece ? Recorded in 100% pure analog by Mike "Rep" Hummel and Adam Smith ? CD includes an unlisted "mystery jam track"

Well, if NME took their collective noses out of the ***(deleted) ** and really looked for the wide swathe of amazing US underground stuff coming out right now, then they might go ape for Mount Carmel...
