Ant here excited about the new GHQ long player
called Crystal Healing that arrived yesterday from the ever reliable
Three Lobed
label. For those uninitiated amongst you GHQ are Marcia Bassett (Hototogisu,
Double
Leopards, Zaimph) and Pete Nolan
(Magik
Markers) and have previously released stuff on time
Lag. They make a freaked out sonic brew of layered acoustic drones and ragas. This project is not as trashed and noisy as their other bands although it does have its moments. Comes with free limited CD and is hand
numbered of 855 copies on 180g vinyl in stunning gatefold sleeve.
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
What their label says...
released 20 april, 2007. recorded by steve gunn, marcia bassett and pete nolan in late 2006, crystal healing is GHQ's most accomplished recording to date. a collection of layered acoustic drones and ragas that mix and whirl throughout both sides. it will not take more than one spin for you to realize that this is one of "those" records. great, great stuff. from a one-time pressing of 855 hand-numbered copies. heavy 180g vinyl. housed within old-style gatefold LP covers featuring new artwork by michael pare.
