about

"Killer cassette from the Australian underground duo of Duncan Blachford (Psychic Baggage/Exhaustion/Goodgrief Commune et al) and Alison Bolger: here Blachford plays drums, percussion and trumpet while Bolger manhandles guitar, keys and saxophone. The music ranges across a bunch of styles, with a pair of fists lodged in assaultive/psychedelic free jazz and another coming out of hypnotic post-Velvets duo exchanges, making for a salutary lesson in the potential of applied free thought to ‘standard’ instrumentation. Indeed, the set comes over as somehow relocating an NZ drone aesthetic to actual speed-of-thought improvisation, with Blachford playing in a wild Beaver Harris style while Bolger huffs into the horn like Arthur Doyle fronting Cadentia Nova Danica, meaning this sounds like the cassette The Blue Humans never cut for Xpressway. Throw in some classic garage psych guitar/drums instrumentals and you have one of the premier free-blaring documents from the bottom of the world since the heyday of CM Ensemble. Edition of practically nada, sold out at source, so make your move, very highly recommended!" – David Keenan, Volcanic Tongue

Two sides of free form improvisation recorded direct to found cassette tape. A caravan heavy key stomper, backed with a sax 'n' drum faux-jazz workout.

2 rumbling, almost gentle cacophonies underneath some occasional pretty creepy vocalisations. Mighty stuff out of Aotearoa. Gavin Hellyer
