Tarentel: Home Ruckus Double Sided Double Air

Descargar

Sello: Type
Estilo: Post-rock, Experimental, Psychedelic, Drone, Ambient
Para fans de: Landing, Labradford, Eluvium, The Dead Texan, Stars Of The Lid...

‘Home Ruckus : Double-Sided Air’ is the latest emission from San Francisco’s shape-shifting Post Post Rockers Tarentel and is one of their most thoughtful moments to date. With references to the clattering percussion of Chris Corsano, the droning ambience of Mirror or Stars of the Lid and the almost spiritual improv of Sunburned Hand of the Man the band have totally sidestepped their previous sound and found a fresh and desperately involving voice. Made up of two tracks, both part of one all-encompassing whole these are home-recorded gems, improvised without being directionless and experimental without losing sight of the fact that people might want to listen to the music. Strictly limited to 500 copies, this is the perfect follow-up to the band’s long-sold out Home Ruckus LP on the Root Strata label, and is sure to be snapped up by eager fans very quickly. Cosmic!

Grouper - Tried 7"

Tracklist:
Tried
Everyone in turn

In a short space of time, Portland-based Liz Harris has become the name on the lips of the underground music world having captured hearts worldwide with her distinct blend of noise, ambience and a dream-pop sensibility. She submerges her songs in a shimmering haze of hiss, looping chorals and decomposed guitar feedback, but somewhere in there you can hear the ghosts of My Bloody Valentine or possibly Slowdive. This latest 7” takes her sound one step further still; ‘Tried’ is one of the most overtly dense pieces Harris has produced to date, but flip over to ‘Everyone in Turn’ and you are treated to simply vocals and piano, a piece of music which has to be one of the most affecting Grouper tracks to date. Sounding like a lost track from beneath a 1950s pier somewhere this affirms the reason why we’re all so obsessed with Liz Harris’ unique productions – they just sound like nothing else on earth.
