Greg Weeks - The Hive

Best known for his work with Philadelphian psychedelic folksters Espers, Greg Weeks returns with his new album ‘The Hive’. Key to the album's sound was the acquisition of a vintage Mellotron keyboard and there’s even a cover version of Madonna’s ‘Borderline’. Recommended.

Hush Arbors - Hush Arbors

Virginian forest folk wizard Keith Wood, has come out with a new formula and created the mighty Self-Titled album of Hush Arbors. Combining the pensive songwriting of John Phillips circa Wolfking, the plaintive honesty of Neil Young, and the fishtank-gazing cacophony of Six Organs of Admittance, Wood writes classic-sounding songs that sound readymade for AM radio, circa 1968. Additional guitar by Ben Chasny.

Jackie-O Motherfucker - Freedomland

Portland-based space commuter, Jackie-O Motherfucker aka Tom Greenwood has a new album compiling series of their live tour during 2006. Avant-garde style dive bars with loads of alcohol induced crowd heard from track through another. Freely improvised, unusual, yet very entertaining piece.

Super Minerals - The Pelagics

"A new age slowburner that leads the listener on drone-descent through the five classified depth zones of the ocean – the pelagics. The deeper the Minerals duo dive, the stranger their field transmissions and creature encounters become. Whale moan symphonies, sonar decay, poisonous urchin, squid in telepathic sex-trance, underwater lava, and the bones of our ancestors who fought for their land over the face of the sea."

Pocahaunted - Chains

The new stunning output from the Olsen Twins of drone music. Dubbed-out sioux rituals with extra mantric howl vibes but less schizophrenic and surprisingly feels a bit happy. Huge recommendation.

Robbie Basho - Venus in Cancer

Robbie Basho released Venus in Cancer in 1969 on the Blue Thumb label. After five albums for the Takoma label in the 60's, Basho had cemented his reputation alongside John Fahey and Leo Kottke as one of the most brilliant guitarists of his generation. His wide range of musical influences from around the globe set him apart from other blues-based players, incorporating Arabic, Himalayan and Indian themes, Japanese and Chinese scales, and classical and European folk music. All are on magnificent display on this sprawling, spiritually-charged album.
