Now, If you've been observant, little lads and ladies, you will have noticed we've had this available on Cd-r courtesy of Winged Sun already. Well, now it gets a full LP release which is more than likely due to the success of the excellent 'Ascension' and 'Shangri LA' LP's. I like High Wolf. In this age of power jamming without friends and space improv in space world, we find ourselves living in High Wolf make a lot of sense. Plus, this French dude is like, really good at, you know...jammin' man. He's got the trance-like spiritual fantasy groove down to a tee. There's plenty of rudimentary percussion, spaced-out keyboards, wahtar (that's wah wah guitar), delayed vocal-ism and ritualistic vibes to keep you mushi-heads and marioBONGS going for many years to come. Imagine a hyperactive version of Sun Araw with the same musical agenda but showing slightly less restraint and you wouldn't be far of a decent description of what's going on here. Like Sun Araw and the like, he has almost certainly spent a lot of time listening to Vibracathedral Orchestra and watching Predator.
Sergent Massacre is particulary proud to announce this one...
When it came out last year from nearly nowhere, High Wolf's 'Incapulco' casted a spell on us so intense that it came immediately obvious this record had to exist on wax. Imagine 'Incapulco' as an unmapped land, a place under mystic light. High Wolf's music transports you there. Fuzzy wah guitars, trancey keyboards, delayed vocals, groovy percussions and jungle spirit! An excellent companion to the 'Ascension' LP that was released on Not Not Fun a couple of months ago.
Originally self-released in a cdr edition, the record has been remastered by the mighty Pete Swanson for this vinyl edition and artwork has been completed by our friend César Brun. Pressed on heavy 180g black vinyl.
Limited run, no repress. So act fast.
