The Lagniappe Sessions :: Cactus Lee

Cactus Lee Lagniappe SessionsPosted on

Cactus Lee’s Kevin Dehan has been keeping busy. Following the release of four long-players in the span of some eighteen months, his honky-tonk horizons are set next on the live set, Live from Dry Creek Café, in tribute to the band’s beloved Austin haunt. Rowdy, and soaked in pedal steel and Lone Stars, it shines selections from the band’s patented Texas Music in perhaps its purest form yet. We recently caught Dehan for a gorgeous full-band set at the Brooklyn-based jukebox joint Skinny Dennis, and it is with those players—Jon Catfish DeLorme . . .

Rhyton :: Pharaonic Crosstalk

RhytonPosted on

Pharaonic Crosstalk, Rhyton’s outstanding new record on Feeding Tube, is an altogether funkier affair. Indeed, Pharaonic is almost a fusion record, redolent as much of Lost Quintet-era Miles and the moody explorations of early Weather Report as the liquid energy of the ‘74 Grateful Dead and the swirling jazz-rock of the Soft Machine . . .

Nils Frahm & F.S. Blumm – 2X1=4

Nils Frahm & F.S. BlummPosted on

2X1=4 is Nils Frahm and F.S. Blumm's fourth collaborative album since 2010, and though a record shop could rightly file its contents alongside the late Lee "Scratch" Perry's extensive catalogue, the music's patient scaffolding of dub surrounds a more intrinsic collection of electronic noises . . .

Videodrome :: Deadlock (1970)

CAN VideodromePosted on

A mysterious longhaired man in a tattered suit is stumbling his way through a barren and blazing-hot landscape. He’s been shot in the arm. The sun is cooking him alive. In one hand is a gun, in the other is a metal suitcase. Inside the suitcase? A bunch of money and a vinyl record by the cosmic rock trailblazers CAN. This is the opening scene for 1970’s Deadlock, the second feature-length film by the underrated West German auteur Roland Klick, and a movie that not only features a soundtrack by CAN, but also manages to incorporate . . .

An Aquarium Drunkard Guide to Jewelled Antler

Jewelled AntlerPosted on

The name Loren Chasse and Glenn Donaldson bestowed on their fledgling CD-R label was intentionally totemic. Jewelled Antler. It sounded like something worshipped, an icon from some long-forgotten religion. The block print logo they emblazoned on their small batch releases all but confirmed it: an illuminated stag horn enshrined upon an altar. It might have been cribbed from ice age wall paintings in the caves of Lascaux. And inside was a music strange and wonderful. Sunkissed jangle-pop and caustic drone, Balkan melodies and lysergic folk songs, deep forest field recordings and lo-fi free improv. It was . . .
