Spectral Park - Pale Glistens UK weirdo Luke Donovan writes pyschwave music like a bonfire - crackling heat with bright, darkness-licking flames. He set this heady new single to a cut of "Frozen Time" by Ryoichiro Debuchi , "an early example of Bullet Time experimentation from 1981/82." Wicked, wild and wonderful. Get more of Luke's mind-bending tracks at his Bndcmp or Sndcld , including the inspired work on Factory Peeled EP.

Dwelling at the intersection of low fidelity pop and burned-out pyschedlia we find Englishman Luke Donovan's Spectral Park . Seemingly inspired by the acid doo wop of the Mothers of Invention , the organ of Rick Wright ( Pink Floyd ), and the madcap of Syd Barrett, Spectral Park channels a weirdo art-pop groove that is absolutely sublime. The lead track 'L'Appel du Vide' – literally the "call of the void" – buffets between obtuse, jangled guitar chords, phasing electronic noise arpeggios , and sci-fi organ runs, propelled by copious snare drum and topped with reverb-soaked [...]

Spectral Park // Factory Peeled Sorry for the double dose of music this weekend, but I have a ton of good stuff that I really want to share with you guys. Actually no, I'm not sorry because Spectral Park is way too good not to share no matter what day it is. I actually found my way to his bandcamp via Twitter. With no previous knowledge I began to listen to his five-song EP Factory Peeled and I was quite instantly hooked. It's important to note that [...]
After reading Vic Galloway's rather nice article in today's Herald on the rise of bands in Scotland influenced by both grunge and lo-fi slacker indie rock. Recording for our upcoming split 123 with Manchester bands Waiters and Sex Hands has seen pals recommend I have a good listen to The Meat Puppets too, if that's the kind of stuff I'm into - particularly if that's the kind of guitar sound I am enjoying at the moment. So that's what this podcast is loosely about. As I explain, despite growing up at the perfect time [...]
Luke Donovan aka Spectral Park just sent me over a link to a collection of songs released last year entitled Factory Peeled and I've been completely taken out by them. I completely forgot about... [go to the website to read the rest of the article, download mp3s and more]
Sparkcast? Spark? YES, any kind of fucking spark whatsoever will do the trick. I remember getting in trouble at my former day job a couple of years ago for writing something rather negative about that awful sensation of being back at your desk after the excesses and indolence of Christmas. I am not feeling negative about it now, which is good given I am self-employed, but I am certainly struggling to spark my brain back into something resembling life at the moment. So yes, I have two new releases to get moving, by Jesus H. Foxx [...]
Bleeding Knees Club 1st January A duo make up of two dudes from Australia's Gold Coast, the songs they make are unmistakably brash, but in a playful way, like a hateful puppy http://thepigeonpost.wordpress .com/2011/01/01/bleeding-knees -club/ Hourglass Sea January 4th The work of Dean Bentley, this is a project that sounds like Solar Bears being played on the wrong speed setting, a hyperactive mass of noise that doesn't quite seem certain where it's going. http://thepigeonpost.wordpress .com/2011/01/04/hourglass-sea/ [...]
musicfansmic : Spectral Park : The Thief's Journal Initially, you could only imagine ' L'appel du Vide ', the first work of Luke Donovan, to be a slight shot in the dark. But in a set of recordings exposed just in time for Christmas, it's clear that this breathtaking fusion of glam rock and garage punk runs true throughout the production of all of his tracks. You can compare ' The Thief's Journal's dark, cinematic [...]

Recently got my hands on this jam from UK's Spectral Park . While the rest of the blogs went crazy for L'appel du Vide , I really started digging on Several Times . It's some bedroom pop with stars for eyes and the weirdest sensibilities, but by the time you question if everything actually works together, you're already on another listen. I keep coming back to this. mp3: Spectral Park - Several Times
via LLL Spectral Park : L'appel Du Vide Cannoning off the walls of their parents' dingy garages, Spectral Park combine careering organ synths and bold slashes of guitar, in ode of 80s garage punk and early-era Horrors. There are plenty of intricacies to ' L'appel Du Vide ' and its companion 'Several Times ' that make these guys more exciting than a flash-in-the-pan homage, however. Loose limbed, off-kilter structures and spaced-out refrains make for a spectacular, unpredictable introduction. [...]

Spectral Park - L'appel du Vide "L'appel du vide", literally "the call of the void", is an example of something Edgar Allen Poe called the " imp of the perverse ", a propensity to do exactly the opposite of what any given situation calls for. In this case, it's the impulse some might feel at the edge of a cliff to jump, despite a rational fear of heights and possible injury or death below. Luke Donovan, Spectral Park 's central inquisitor, shouts out to a presumed lover, "Aren't you tired, aren't [...]
