Whoah there! Don't touch Eternal Tapestry 'cos they's on fire! The Invisible Landscape is their latest LP on Not Not Fun (limited to 500 copies on gorgeous blue/grey vinyl) and it's their most full-on yet, blazing a jammin' psychedelic consciousness-surfin' wah-wah kraut Hawkwind-shaped trail into the heart of your tiny mind as you cower in the corner going "No, Eternal Tapestry! Get out of my dreams, get into my car!" I liked their other two 'big' LP releases but for me this is the proper stuff, coming up smelling of frazzled tubes, burning hair, mighty struggle and ultimate victory. Wot a stunna!

Last year s Mystic Induction LP captured PDX wah junkies Eternal Tapestry at their hairiest hour, awash in color trails and nightshade flashbacks. Since then they ve reverted back to their original power trio line-up, circled the tube amps, and written a fresh, flooring set of brand new electric rippers. And The Invisible Landscape is the fruit of this from-bliss-to-blistering evolution/revolution. It s packed deep with six kraut-punk psych-shredders, huffing fumes from the twin guitar hero dogfighting of Dewey Mahood and Nick Bindeman while drum demon Jed Bindeman does barrel rolls and nosedives into the eye of the storm. There s also a rawness and warmth to the production that helps the songs bleed into the ear with more electricity than before, and the riff/vocals interplay is streamlined for optimum mainlining. A fiery high point for a fiery high band. Hit it or quit it. Randomly colored LPs (hues range from silt grey to swamp green and beyond) in pro-printed jackets with art by the band plus a photocopied insert. Edition of 500.
