Ames

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! ames is the first release to come from portland, oregon based tracker (FILMguerrero 1999). ames is desert highway narratives, folk tales from the front yard, and loose guitar lo-fi for the super-8 movie. recorded at type foundry recording in portland, john askew pushes record on the 16-track reel to reel, documenting passing landscapes and empty motels: headphone core for the analog. somewhere at the kitchen table with grandaddy, sparklehorse and camper van beethoven, askew collects a soundtrack for the lone apartment; the a.m. radio on the road.
