The Bark Haze - Lp - lp

---

This limited edition lp was pressed in an edition of 1000. The first 100 mailorder customers will receive half & half black/white color vinyl.
These are completely different recordings than the Bark Haze compact disc also on Important Records.
The Bark Haze is primarily a guitar duo of GOWN (nom de plume of one Andrew Macgregor) and Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth etfuckingcetera). Auxiliary members have been know to include Pete Nolan (Magik Markers, Virgin Eye Blood Brothers, Cops et al). Their name came from a mis-hearing of the radical early 70s R+B group the Bar-Kays and from that moment the concept of mis-hearing and allegiance to presenting the mis-hearing as some open-ended musical course became The Bark Haze's identity. So far all concerts have taken place in Western Massachusetts and once in the confines of Cambridge,
MA's Twisted Village record emporium. They anxiously await their debut gig
in the UK at the Nightmare Before Christmas event curated by Moore. As the
heroic and potentially bonkers Carpenters refrained We've Only Just Begun.
Damn straight.

imprec061 HOTOTOGISU Ghosts From The Sun $20 hand made edition photo info, reviews & mp3 ...we're out of stock on the mass produced version but we've got a some copies of a hand made edition done by the group. no two are the same.

.On this double cd The Hototogisu masterfully create a dense sediment of tetonic drone with the thickest layers of guitar, vocals and electronics. Elaborately arranged, The Hototogisu are obviously season sonic travelers, featuring the legendary Matthew Bower (Skullflower, Sunroof!) and Marcia Bassett (Double Leopards). Ghosts Of The Sun is one enormous composition, nearing 2 hours in length, unfolded and nailed together in 7 movements. Starting with a slow drone electronic crawl and climaxing with crackling bone percussion buried howls of haunted minds, Ghosts Of The Sun cries out from beneath an earthquake of guitar feedback and distorion. Ghosts Of The Sun compresses eternity, from the creation of humanity to it's own destruction, into 7 parts on one double album. This is epic and total sonic overload, by way of The Hototogisu.
