I'm particularly intrigued by Cam Deas' 'Five Bells' CD with the image of what loks like some sort of cloaked medievil hangman on the front that wouldn't be out of place on a Sunn O)) LP. Oh this sounds great... very mysterious sounding with haunting guitars and what sound like the voices of aincient ghostly monks. Dark and spooky gear with strange things happening in the distance. I could really lose myself in these tracks and so it gets a thumbs up from me.Numbered of 55 copies.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

The initial 2 seconds of the opener on this 6 track blazer from Cam are screeching electronics which vanish instantly into a seance of a doomed village, with the leader strumming out some bleak herbal drug folk ritual/haze.  Track two, 'Where We've Been' blurs into an intense dronescape, smearing into a lighter, more psychedelic, drone piece 'Where We're Going'. 'The Days Are Over' has a floating drone back, layered on top with guitar ala Jack Rose, Blackshaw etc. Title track 'Five Bells' follows burning the guitar into a flaming rage, with a few remaining strum yelps struggling through the flames. The disc closes with a sweet guitar piece entitled 'Two More Days', again similar to Blackshaw and Rose. Cam just moved up for the smoke to the steel city and a bunch of us just discovered his musical vibes. He has a bunch of things dropping soon, and had a split release with Sindre Bjerga not so long ago. The dude has the skills. Edition of 55 copies.
