4...according to our Phil on Thu 19 Feb, 2009.

I don't remember hearing much Chora before but I know they've had stuff out on Blackest Rainbow, Gold Soundz and Singing Knives. This 4 track album called Goat Lines is a bit useful we thought.. It consists of 1 short track and 3 long tracks which are essentially jams. It's all very freeform psych/freak folk and if you're into a bit of that you'll probably like this. A couple of the latter tracks were quite percussive and reminded me a bit of Silvester Anfang..... Dark tribal wierd forest folk. We like a bit of that. Fans of Sunburned will be into this!

Four tracks recorded April 08 on tour in Europe with our friends Helhesten & The Hunter Gracchus. 3 tracks recorded in collaboration with Pascal Nichols (Stuckometer, Part Wild Horses Mane On Both Sides, Neon Temple…) & 1 duo jam of mainstays Rob Lye and Ben Morris. Instrumentation including: violin/ Shaahi Baaja/drums/percussion/vocals/sax:::::::
‘Follow the rise and fall of their kaleidoscopic drone mantras that move through skeletal extended percussive techniques, wormhole found-sound manipulation, kitchen sink gamelan, and elephantine vocal swoops’.
