Psychedelic Porn Crumpets - Night Gnomes (Red Natural Swirl) - VINYL LP

On Disquiet, The Necks stretch their immersive, shape-shifting sound across three discs and more than three hours of labyrinthine, patient intensity. This is their twentieth studio recording and it marks the 39th year of the band's existence.Meticulously recorded and sculpted, the four extended pieces on Disquiet see Tony Buck, Chris Abrahams, and Lloyd Swanton pushing at the outer edges of their collective intuition, building and unraveling hypnotic structures with microscopic focus. Present is the usual arsenal of piano, double bass, and drums, and all the in-between of sounds undefined and sources obscured.The music of The Necks has always carried a profound sense of shared responsibility - between the players, of course, in their utter commitment to the improvisational - but also between the work and it's audience. With music so open, there are profound opportunities to choose what to focus on, whether to focus at all, etc. Disquiet takes this further there is no particular listening order prescribed. There is no InchDisc 1, Disc 2, Disc 3.Inch The music itself seems to stretch time, and this presentation challenges ideas of sequencing. The Necks, one may argue, are a mode of discovery as much as they are a band.Regarding the sound itself, The Necks' signature restraint and textural depth remain, with subtle tonal shifts, evolving motifs, and roiling phases of keen and propulsive clatter, strains of subdued surprise and unmatched intentionality - as ever, expansive and absorbing.

Falling somewhere between Soulside, Ignition, and The Chocolate Watchband, Vile Cherubs were a short-lived and puzzling band that for a brief window in 1986-88 man- aged to captivate, confuse, and annoy the D.C. punk scene.Consisting of high school classmates Tim Green, Jesse Quitlsund, and Ben Wides-along with Green's childhood friend Seth Lorinczi-the Vile Cherubs were more focused on the then-forgotten sounds of '60s garage rock and psychedelia than on Minor Threat. Being minors themselves, they likely would've remained trapped in the school-dance circuit were it not for Geoff Turner (Gray Matter / 3), who took an interest in the band and recorded their two demos.That first tape caught the ear of d.c. space booker Cynthia Connolly, who despite her initial skepticism paired them with Didjits, Cynics, and other noteworthy bands. Rumors of a potential Dischord album built all through 1987, ending with mysterious suddenness after tag co-owner Jeff Nelson dropped in on a rehearsal to find a miasma of LSD, alcohol, feedback, and vomit.Though the band released a posthumous LP in 1988, the original Geoff Turner demos explain why the D.C. scene briefly lost it's S**t over these teen ne'er-do-wells. Lovingly and exhaustively resuscitated by audio maestro Tim Green from the original multitrack tapes, InchLysergic LamentationsInch is the Vile Cherubs at the height of their brief existence.

Triple vinyl LP pressing.
