Jack Rose rules. He really does. He's extremely well regarded and seeing as though a lot of music he plays is basically well old sounding I'm amazed he's considered as cool as he is. Charlie Parr does a similar sort of thing to be honest at times and he's nowhere near as cool? I'm a total sucker though and I love a bit of Jack. Only just found out about an album he did earlier on this year which I missed. Bollocks... here's a split 7" with him and Silvester Anfang. Rose covers a Fahey song and another song by S Mcgee (I'll show my ignorance by not knowing who he is... maybe he/she is related to Paul Daniels wife Debbie Mcgee??). Jack plays a mighty fine guitar.... this is some proper wonky sounding early Bluegrass/ Americana to rock your socks off. The flipside is Silvester Anfang doing some weird disturbed evil cult sounding shit. Proper goat murdering, killing virgins and eating raw hamsters gear. Atmospheric and dark.... man this is a good single...Great split by the always genius American Primitive guitarist Jack Rose. He covers Fahey’s ‘How Green Was My Valley’ and Sam McGee’s ‘Buckdancer’s Choice’ as if each of his fingers had their own little set of wings. B-side occupants Silvester Anfang are a Belgian fee-freak-folk combo with an open membership policy and a sound that suggests they have a good supply of smoke. Heard together, this is pretty stunning. Limited to 250 copies
