Son House - Forever On My Mind - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Nymph is a Brooklyn-based psychedelic-shred/avant-garde outfit whose tempestuously transcendent music has been penetrating the New York music scene with bared teeth. This, their self-titled debut album, was recorded and mixed by Jason Meagher (of No Neck Blues Band) at Black Dirt Studios in upstate New York and by David Tolomei at DNA in New York City from late autumn 2007 - summer 2009, and mastered by Sarah Register (of Talk Normal) at the Lodge studios in New York City. Originally self- released as a very limited double LP we are very proud to be bringing the album to wider attention. Nymph's compositional palette encompasses an ebullient kaleidoscope of sound imagine 13th Floor Elevators essaying a Rahsaan Roland Kirk jam and you begin to get the picture. Or maybe Steve Reich bonging out on Pandit Pran Nath and jamming with This Heat. The four-piece's orgiastic din is composed and orchestrated by the nucleus of Matty McDermott (formerly of Coyote - Birdman Records) and Eri Shoji; and currently featuring the thundering harmonic prowess of bassist Nickle Emmet, with Jason Robira (Dark Meat) pounding the skins.

Recorded after Son House's rediscovery, these recordings were made at his New York Home. They are Informal yet typically intense and powerful.

Son House proves his towering influence on the blues, pouring his raw voice, slide guitar, and candid storytelling into this visceral document of a legend still commanding the crowd and reaffirming the power of the Delta tradition. Recorded live at the Oberlin College, Ohio, 1965.
