John Vanderslice - Dagger Beach - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The third solo album from this former member of MK Ultra. An enormously gifted songwriter and musician based in San Francisco, Life And Death of An American Fourtracker is his third and best solo album. Both beautiful and unique, Fourtracker boasts great guest appearances by Kori Gardner (Mates of State), Jim Eno (Spoon), Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie), Bill Swan (Beulah) and other lesser-known but equally luminous players.

John Vanderslice - Mass Suicide Occult Figurines [COMPACT DISCS] date 07/18/2000

The newest entry into John Vanderslice's deep and undeniably remarkable catalog is White Wilderness, and it's a record like no other he's made before. Here are nine new and wildly impressive JV songs captured live over three days in a unique collaboration with the Magik*Magik Orchestra, a collective of classically trained musicians in the Bay Area led by artistic director Minna Choi. The Magik*Magik Orchestra have a comprehensive mastery of classic performance and repertoire, but also have a full appreciation of the aesthetics of indie and underground music.
