The Bevis Frond - Triptych - VINYL LP

The main strength of the Bevis Frond is the exquisite songwriting, with pithy and poignant lyrics delivered in a very uncompromising English roots accent. - The QuietusInchSaloman has remained a niche concern amongst purist psych fiends these past 30 years.Inch - MOJOOriginally released in a signed limited-edition record of 500 copies, then reissued as a double-LP set on Reckless Records in 1988, this year's Record Store Day sees the record reissued on double clear vinyl alongside 'Triptych' and 'The Auntie Winnie Album' as part of the 30th Anniversary. This historical collection of Bevis Frond songs includes 'Rat In A Waistcoat', 'The Shrine' and 'I Can't Get Into Your Scene'. Closing track includes 'Alastair Jones' recorded in 1967 when Nick was just 14 years old. A labour of love and fiercely independent, his prolific output has seen as many releases in as many years and an uncompromising vision under his own tag Woronzow. Hailed as Incha Hendrix devotee every bit as tough and contemporary as the serrated guitar chorales of Sonic Youth and PixiesInch by Rolling Stone's David Fricke, his immense psych-stoner-rock has seen him become a cult figure in his own right. The Bevis Frond's legion of loyal fans includes Teenage Fanclub, Dinosaur Jr and Mary Lou Lord, who have all covered his music. Album Tracks 1. Intro 2. 1970 Home Improvements 3. Now You Know 4.

Double vinyl LP pressing in gatefold sleeve including art insert and digital download. Digitally remastered edition. 1994's Sprawl, originally released on Woronzow, features Nick with Jimmy Hastings (flute), Tony Aldridge (violin) and Andy Ward on drums. Vocals here were provided by Ade Shaw, Dean Carter and Mick Donovan along with Current 93's David Tibet guesting with spoken word on the spiritual 'Right On (hippy dream)'. Hypnotic 12 minute psych piece 'Awake' is interspersed with instrumentals and the grungy guitars of 'The Puller' are offset by Aldridge's strings. The tenth studio album in less than a decade since and Sprawl - once again - demonstrates Nick's immeasurable songwriting power.

Double vinyl LP pressing including digital download. Digitally remastered and expanded edition. New River Head is the second studio album and seventh full length which is widely regarded as the finest. ‘The Miskatonic Variations II’ is a 17-minute psychedelic noise rock odyssey with exhilarating guitar solos and features guest vocals from Current 93’s David Tibet. ‘Undertaker’ and ‘Chinese Burn’ bursts with garage-rock and ‘Waving’ delves more into British folk-rock territory. “The perfect point of entry into his catalogue” (Popmatters). “Within such an impressive body of work, New River Head is certainly the crown jewel. One of the headier agglomerations of the past decade, it’s non-grasping pace and epic palette issue the breezy confidence of an unmistakable classic” Pitchfork. Album Tracks 1. Intro 2. White Sun 3.
