Jay Clarke è un polistrumentista e compositore attivo a Portland (Oregon) , membro dei Dolorean e della line-up dal vivo dei valenti Grails , band concittadina dedita a qualcosa definito, non a torto, come "Spaghetti post-rock", capace di rimescolare la lezione di Morricone con quella delle "desert sessions" e di fondere le alchimie dei Crippled Black Phoenix con quelle degli Earth . Comunque questa è un'altra storia, perché Jay Clarke mette insieme, per il suo progetto personale (in cui assume l'identità di Ash Black Bufflo ), [...]

'Andasol' is the first album from Ash Black Bufflo , arriving ten years into a musical career that has seen tracks and scores appear in several theatre productions and modern dance performances, staged in the USA. The record is an astonishing piece of work, literally uncategorisable, as it skips from genre to sub-genre, taking in folk, Cinecitta-style sound collages, abstract jazz, post modernist drone-rock, neo-classical, and all the while retaining a very focused feel, with an emotional depth that grows with each play. Ash Black Bufflo is actually Jay Clarke, a warm and intelligent fellow from Portland, [...]

First, let me set things strait. I'm exhausted. I've been working 18 - 27 hour shifts all week in Joplin, MO at the disaster relief headquarters, so if these Sabbaths are a little late over the next few weeks, now you know why. I had mentioned in the previous two Sabbaths that for a while The Indie Sabbath is going to step away from its usual format and follow my work here in Joplin, as well as raising awareness for the people in the city of Joplin. I'm going to be writing about some pretty real shit, and if you [...]
