Tar... Feathers are from G÷teborg, Sweden, and consists of the
Release The Bats-hangaround and dear friend Marcus Nyke. Last
summer he put out a limited cd-r release that circulated in
the town for a while and created quite a buzz among the lucky
ones. What first was supposed to be released as a cdep quickly
turned in to a full album and here it is: Make Way For The
Ocean Floor To Fall To The Surface!
Make Way For The Ocean Floor consists of 10 well-crafted songs
with a wonderful vibe of lo-fi and d.i.y aesthetics. The sound
can be compared with some of the best stuff from the early K
Records bands (think Modest Mouse, Microphones and even some
Beat Happening), take that whole sound and mix it up with some
Joan Of Arc, Owls and all those bands. Add some hints of The
Head On The Door-era The Cure to that and you may be close!
Probably the most melancholic and gloomy record we have put
out so far but in some weird way this is still music that
manages to make you very happy in the end. Together with a
bunch of friends and collaborators Marcus has created a
genuine masterpiece. You usually always tend to think that the
latest release you have put out is the best one, but Make Way
For The Ocean Floor will always have a very special place for
me.
Marcus handles all the main duties on the recording with help
from Simon Stσlhamre (I Am The Sanctuary), Pσl Olovsson (Close
Your Eyes And Think Of England) and Morten Billeskalns
(Chronic Heist/Ex-Jr Ewing) on various instruments on most of
the songs. Anna Tomlin from Audrey also contributes with
vocals on one track. Recorded in a small attic on a island on
the Swedish east coast during last autumn/winter and finalized
in Stockholm early ┤06. Recording/mixing by Simon Stσlhamre.
Comes in a full color digipack with a small foldout sheet with
lyrics. Drawings and design by Marcus.
Vinyl version out on Adagio 830.
