been working my way through this sprawling messy bugger of an album, fighting off infection and mild meds hallucinations; trudging weary through a swamp of sweats and mucous and deafness; bone and membrane spilling grumbling aches and grouchy pains. feeling brittle as fuck. now bashing out words between states, neither of which feel quite real... fitting then that transfiguration, transubstantiation, transcendence seem to play a big part in mountainhood's music (and artful diversions). it's music for forest fever dreams, campfire rituals and pseudo-lucid folksongs, for astral projections and becomings and the crunch of foot on dry twig journeys [...]
nick gentry paints on floppy's and cassettes of various sorts. obsoletism. i'm thinking zombies and philip k. dick's rachael. it's the eyes. dunno there's something sad and empty about all this. lost souls. identikit portraits. dead. perfect. [...]

some pounding shrieking ungrooves from jim o'rourke & masaya nakahara as the titularly lolsome suicidal 10cc. never understood how o'rourke came to be involved in sonic youth's snoozey beige period...

goddamn procrastination... been a fan of gowns fr ages and i meant to batter out some words when erika m. anderson brought out the grey ship seven incher with this monstrous 16 minute b-side of robert johnson's kind-hearted woman... blooze, creaking and groaning and y'know elongated (with midsection existential howl) into forevereverandever. and then the album past life martyred saints appeared and yea verily it was all kinds of ace. bruised knuckles and bleeding knees. a grim sensuality to it.

god save us dreamers, yr all that's left sometimes / god save you dreamers, yr all that's left in life for anyone interested in underground / outsider music bobb trimble's first two records are one of thee touchstones. a singular vision. song as solipsism. both merged into one. forget walking in his shooze, this's like sliding around inside his goddam skull. aesthetic tendrils you can trace all the way from him to james ferraro and gary war and ariel pink. a sometimes inscrutable mix of mystic and personal, one that requires decoding of sigils and myths [...]
nice cassette of zonked droneisms here. kinda newage. kinda narcotic. kinda earth-ish dustbowl twang. kinda kosmische. while my need to listen to ambient music (and all it's fuzzy/muzzy cousins) at frightening volumes sometimes negates the musique d'ameublement essence of it all, this contrariness does occasionally yield some gorgeous and unexpected timbres and textures. and while ancient ocean doesn't trouble the woofers in the same way say eleh does it's still a rather gorgeous listen.

all kindsa cross-pollination, travelled paths and snaking tendrils here. missouri via memphis via ohio. sun records via flying nun via columbus discount. those kinda classic rock moves as eviscerated by royal trux. peter laughner, with a country bent (less robert johnson, more uncle tupelo). james jackson toth loves them and it's not hard to see why. jeremy freeze ploughs the same goddam furrow. not so much reinventing as y'know reinvigorating decades worth of straight forward pop / rock / singersongwriter tropes. bits of blooze. bits of country. bits of garage. bits [...]

this life can be very strange / all those dayglow freaks who used to paint the face / they've joined the human race / some things will never change oof. this is gonna be a source of consternation among some of the regulars. it's the dan! kindofa obsessive compulsive pall hanging over this bugger, from source to execution. a years work; eighty-odd steely dan songs shorn and sculpted into one twelve track chunk of gleeful glowing 4/4ish house stomp and pulse. s'all been glued together by one fella (gabe shultz) though i do like [...]
