Clean Plate

VINYL FORMAT. Limited to 1,000 copies; silkscreened covers! During the Great Blizzard of 2010, Julian Grefe and Justin Geller of Pink Skull alongside Quentin Stolzfus (Azusa Plane, Mazarin) holed up in a two hundred year old barn with 20 some odd (and some not) synthesizers, the mighty Pink Skull Modular, a 1 inch 8-track, and enough mushrooms to shelter a village of Smurfs. The result of this meeting of the mind-melters is Clean Plate, an analog inner space journey in the tradition of Tangerine Dream's Phaedra and Brainticket's Voyage. Gurgling pads, stalactitic arpeggios, whole synth hog drones, groans and moans, guide the listener through the tube into a sublime union with an ominous reality abyss. Clean Plate is the unusual precursor to Pink Skull's forthcoming album on RVNG Intl, Psychic Welfare.
