Beggin' Your Pardon Miss Joan feature a member of Guanaco (whose LP earlier this year was super tidy) and their Blackest Rainbow debut collects tracks released on such esteemed imprints as Centre of the Wood, Dead Pilot and Reverb Worship. There are times where you could definitely guess that this is somehow related to Guanaco but for the most part this project has a more traditionally folky feel with little hints of drone here and there. Even the vocals sound a little droney in themselves, with many a drawn-out In that sense it reminds me quite a bit of some of the earlier, 4-track Six Organs of Admittance stuff and since I rate that stuff incredibly highly it should be taken as a big compliment that this doesn't suffer in the least from the comparison!

Edges will be the first widely available release by Beggin' Your Pardon Miss Joan, and is a collection of several old songs from previous highly limited releases on Centre of the Wood, Dead Pilot and Reverb Worship, plus 5 new tracks. The project is from the minds of Lex and Vanessa Panayi. Lex some of you may recognise as he also plays under the name of Guanaco ±, who earlier this year had the Sky Burials LP released on BR. On this 9 track CD there are moments comparable to some of the material on the aforementioned LP, but at times its approach is more singer-songwriter based with more vocals, as well as merging autumnal psychedelic string picking excursions and traditional folk guitar meanderings. A really gorgeous collection of songs. Edition of 500, full colour pro printed card wallets.
