I'm always into checking out what the duo of Merrick McKinlay and Brian Pyle get up to, they've made some fantastic records and Bo' Weavil have just scored one from them. This is some seriously dramatic audio filled with rhythm, drone, nightmarish brass, synthesizers and a massive sense of lurking paranoia. There is a whole lot of action to become engulfed within with lots of peculiar sounds I wouldn't normally associate with these guys but they are joined by Steve Lazar and Gregg DeVaney on three of the four tracks so that explains a lot. This could be the soundtrack to the scariest movie ever - no shit. Perhaps their most accomplished record to date as it displays a very clear vision which has been brilliantly executed. I'm pretty lost for words here but rest assured, this one will stand the test of time. Edition of 350 copies.

Firstly, this is not for the faint-hearted, but fear not, this is not another noise record. This LP is something else altogether. This is a massive, glorious psychedelic din, a thick fog of dramatic sound events. Starving Weirdo's latest offering promises to enfold the listener who will experience the ecstatic grandeur of Anton Bruckner as much as the rich industrial drone of David Jackman. This is Lhasa in California - a world drenched in ecstatic thrills and intense ethereal exploration.There are sounds, there are drones, there are rhythms and there are songs - a glorious concoction that moves in a vertical fashion. As we live today, in all this murk; all this twisted history and convoluted present, we can be thankful that these folks in California came together to create such a glorious record for all to bathe in. But this, like all good things, is limited and will not be around forever. Step in now or forever remain the great unwashed.
