For my thousandth Weird Forest review of the day we've got Black Hole by Family Underground. Yet more lovely artwork, blah blah blah. Cool little label this, that's for sure. This one's well droney and sounds like the wind blowing through trees that wisps have converted into houses. Or people running around with bedsheets over they're heads going 'Wooooooo... Wooooooooooo'! In other words, this record is totally haunted and skill! It's limited, so make sure you get one ready for Halloween before it disappears in a puff of smoke.

Family Underground drenched the east coast of the USA in molten syrup last year and they toted along a tour CD-R entitled Black Hole released by the fine folk of Secret Eye. Mega bummed I didn't get to feel their magic live but I ordered that tour disc post-haste. Man, when I got it I was slain. I thought it was their finest work to date so I had to invoke it on vinyl. I tapped into the band's communication network and together we figured this would make a killer double LP, definitely one for the record books. So The Underground sent me a half hour of unreleased musics to fill the vinyl sides to fruition. Holy Hannah was I unprepared for A! How well the new jams mind-melded with the other tracks. And B — the superb variation of the entire work with paramount peaks and deep arcane valleys. Get it and trip!
Limited to 500 copies on black vinyl with full color gatefold jackets.

5...according to jeff shelton.

quiescent luminous shadows slowly taking the form of angelic specters deep in the sea; rising, spiraling and tumbling into and through each other in rites of appirition-embodiment; moebius-infinity loop metaphors turning opening mouths upward as the waters' surface is finally met and passed through. now, in radiant speckled darkness, the breath-pulsing begins in earnest.
