Loco Hills, the debut fullength from these Brooklyn bush
babies,is the sound of a rolling southwestern road trip. It is
the sound of unknown terrain, and appropriately Loco Hills
finds Shepherds entering full band territory for the first
time. A fully realized jam document, toying at times with
structure, Shepherds never lose sight of the "drop everything
and make music" mentality that makes them so exciting.
Swirling strings, tape manipulations. Bongos and wah, fire and
bone. This is our music.
Members from Meneguar, Woods and The Vanishing Voice.
BROOKLYN PSYCH FOLK IMPROV UNIT, FEATURING MEMBERS OF THE
VANISHING VOICE, MENEGUAR AND WOODS. ON THE 40-MINUTE DEBUT
ALBUM "LOCO HILLS", SHEPHERDS IS SOUNDING MORE LIKE A FULL
BAND. SHEPHERDS IS EXPLORING THE SAME ROUTE AS SUCH
CONTEMPORARY ACTS AS BLUES CONTROL AND RELIGIOUS KNIVES HAVE
BEEN DOING RECENTLY, TAKING CUES FROM 70'S GERMAN
PROGRESSIVE/KRAUT ROCK, BUT WITHOUT LOOSING THE INITIAL SNAKE
CHARMING FREE JAM APPROACH OF THEIR PREVIOUS TAPE RELEASES.
WHILE MAINTAINING THE VERY SPECIAL FEELING OF 'HERE AND NOW'
LOOSENESS IN THEIR COMPLEX SOUND, SHEPHERDS HAVE CREATED A
POWERFUL RECORD, SOMETHING YOU WILL RETURN TO OVER AND OVER
AGAIN. MESMERISING EPICS FOR LATE SUMMER NIGHTS. DIGIPACK AND
LIMITED TO 500.
