That Cameron Deas chappie returns with another vinyl outing on our favorite Sheffield outer reaches label Blackest Rainbow. This baby is a split with Spoono AKA Jack Allett who I think is from Camberwell in London. Cam's side is more of that scintillating James Blackshaw-esque quickfire picking that should also appeal heavily to fans of Sir Richard Bishop & John Fahey. His style isn't quite as pin sharp & clean as Blackshaw's, a little rawer & expressive but just as breathtaking. The first of two tracks 'Frozen Lakes & Icy Leaves' is a blinding epic of dramatic highs & lows. The second untitled piece is a brief track comprised of pesky blurting electronics & interference, like an amp and a fusebox having a hissy fit in an empty studio. Spoono's side resides in or around the chapel of our friend Jack Rose, his 3 metronomic jangling compositions sending huge shivers of delight up our spines, a truly gifted guitarist with fingers to worship (he sounds like he may have about 26 of them judging by these wild pieces!!) This "tour" split LP features a unique old postcard from around these hallowed isles, giving each record it's own identity & purpose. I like the Cam Deas side a great deal but i'm bowled over by Spoono, his tracks are to die for! Wonderful grooves....
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
