CD reissue of the long-time-coming solo album from Ash Castles
On The Ghost Coast/Iron Kite/Friday Group member Shawn
McMillen (originally released on vinyl last year by Emperor
Jones) to mark his inclusion on the new Imaginational Anthem
roadshow/tour.
The moves here orbit classic Charalambides/Pelt/American Primitive
modes, albeit dilated via huge deserts of UFO tone, percussive bongs
that are almost Partch in construction and the sound of railroad
lights dancing around the periphery of your brain. Some beautiful
low lonesome sound. Recommended.
Bowed bass and metal, Indian goat bells, analog synth, a rusty old
autoharp, amplified springs and an abundance of guitars were used
to create this acid foke masterpiece. The final lengthy track
ôQuintannaÆs Head Dressö was recorded live at 3am in a hot living
room with BC Smith (Iron Kite, Ethereal Planes Indian) and Matt
Martinez (The Friday Group). McMillen is formerly of Galveston's
Ash Castles on the Ghost Coast and currently sweats and staggers
in Iron Kite and Rubble.
