Aaron Martin's new 3" CD on Under the Spire features his tracks being reworked by Part Timer and it's called Grass Rewound. If I was making a video for it I'd use backwards slow motion footage of loads of dogs vomiting out half-digested grass but not because it sounds like that, just because of its title. Now that I've made that clear I'll say that this CD is pretty nice, with the melancholy originals given an extra layer of sadness through the looping repetitions of the weepiest of strings and the super plaintive piano. Sadness electronically augmented. One to buy for the recently dumped replicant in your life.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

John McCaffrey:
"Grass Rewound is a bit of a sequel to the seed recollection release on Mobeer...Aaron sent me the grass wounds release to use for samples in my own music but I ended up reinterpreting it fully. I like working with Aaron's sound sources because I  hear some very poppy elements in there that I like to bring out in my remixes. I'm particularly proud of these mixes and think that although they radically alter the originals, the flavours of Aaron's sounds are very much present throughout."

Grass Rewound is released in a run of 200 hand stamped, embossed & hand numbered 4-panel recycled card wallet from Stumptown.
