Hey, it's book time again! As I'm sure you all realise, these things aren't really reviewable in the traditional sense. Although I opened this copy of Yeti issue 8 up and found a picture of Bishop Perry Tillis slouched comically in a chair, asleep with his guitar at his side so I could review that I suppose. I liked it. Now that that's over with I'll list what's inside: stuff on Eliane Radigue, Harry Partch (which I may well read later), Zola Jesus, Luc Sante and more, with a CD featuring the likes of Inca Ore, Ty Segall, Little Claw, Fergus & Geronimo and more again. Good shit.
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
