I think my favorite song so far is TSMcR. Such a weird little song.
Totally on board with you on that one, @Krist Rampage. It’s got sort of of that mid-90’s Geb-fuelled weirdness combined with the freakout parts from the 2020s epics, crammed into a short(ish) rock song. Awesome stuff!
Three minutes longer than Barracuda, which is usually called a mini album. So, kinda the Barracuda of the 2020s, then?
Ok, so my vinyl arrived today. One of the first things I noticed is that I (and, I guess, everyone else) got serial no. 00000. Now I wonder, did B&S intend to hand number all copies, but forgot to think about the fact that they would all be shrink wrapped? If so: a bit of a bummer, but also pretty funny. 😄
Haha, it’s a bit of an Into The Sun ripoff, isn’t it? Funny thing to do when they already covered it some 32 years ago.
A horn section, wow. Yeah, maybe they’re recording a collection of half-hour long flute solos inspired by Tolkien and Jethro Tull, to paraphrase a rather hilarious comment from Turbonegro after their set was delayed by MP w/ the horns from Jaga Jazzist at a festival (Øya?) back in the days. Ooor, it’s «just» a new drummer. I’d love to be surprised, though.
Ok, some random thoughts on Ahsol Caravan after picking it up today:
1) The last time I bought a CD (not counting those enclosed with Mojo magazine) may have been in 2008. Do all CD releases look this cheap nowadays, or is this just a low-budget release (like Theo Buhara’s movies)? One sheet booklet, strangely blurry print on thinnnnn paper. It’s almost like a fancy bootleg. Hmm. Now that I think about it, I must say it suits the whole thing.
2) So, is the movie/album title some kind of nod to the psych/proto-krautrock band Xhol Caravan?
3) I guess the throat singing on track 9 is the closest I’ll ever get to my dream of hearing MP jamming with Huun-Huur-Tu. Still pretty fucking far from the real deal, though!
4) I love detours like this.
90 seconds after I posted that, the universe responded with an sms containing the tracking number, haha.
I got a mail 12 days ago that said my record(s) had been shipped. No tracking number, however, so I have no idea of the current whereabouts of the package. I usually receive an sms or a note in my mailbox when it has arrived at my local, uhm, post i butikk (I live in Norway), but no news so far. I rarely buy stuff online anymore and don’t really know how long these things take domestically. Anyone?
Let’s hope for a later edition om double 10”, then.
I’m curious about track 8, the title suggests some unhinged saxophone madness (if you know, you know) …Haha! Someone must surely have mentioned this on FB, but that guitar intro is shamelessly stolen from Loch Meaninglessness from Yay! Same key and all.
By older stuff, do you by any chance mean from the 90s? Only three 90s shows have been archived so far. I’d love to hear more of those, especially a few of the 95-99 shows, again.
