This follows the CD only Menagerie compilation on BR with eight exclusive tracks from Akron/ Family, Joanne Robertson & Matthew Asworth, WAND, Natural Snowbuildings, Married In Berdichev, Moon Duo, The See See and Seadog. Akron/ Family open the set with 'East Coast'; a breezy acoustic number in their inimitable style. Then onto 'Home of Dogs' from Robertson & Ashworth with a slow ethereal folk droner. WAND is up next with his distinctive brand of country' folk. This is of course James Toth/ Wooden Wand.... Then the first side closes with a killer from Natural Snow Buildings with 'Case Resurrected' and listening to it, it really couldn't be anyone else. The strings in particular here are most arresting; proper goosebump stuff. The Moon Duo 'Run Around' tune is another highlight; an upbeat full on psych fuzzer. Worth the asking price alone for the Moon Duo and NSB tracks... You know the score... This also comes with a zine that features artwork by Jake Blanchard, Pete Fowler, Andrew Rae, Will Sweeney, Sarah King, Solange Gultarte, James Trimmer / Mirt and Mat Pringle.
The second compilation compiled and conceived by London based illustrator Jake Blanchard continues on its strength of eclectic audio vibes paired with visual glory by an array of excellent artists. 8 artists were given a track and their finished artwork is based around their assigned track. With the previous CD release of Menagerie #1 there was only 100 copies available with the zine. But with this new issue, every single copy comes with a super slick pro printed full colour zine of artwork from: Jake Blanchard, Pete Fowler, Will Sweeney, Andrew Rae, Sarah King, Solange Gularte, James Trimmer / Mirt, and Mat Pringle. This time the audio is appearing on vinyl only, with exclusive tracks from: Moon Duo, Natural Snow Buildings, Wand (aka Wooden Wand), The See See, Seadog, Joanne Robertson & Matthew Ashworth, Married In Berdichev, and Akron/Family. The pro-printed sleeve features artwork by Jake Blanchard. Heavyweight vinyl, with full colour labels. Edition of 500. Joint release between Blackest Rainbow, and Jake's new Tor Press label for zines and music.
