For The Maples

Gown (aka Andrew MacGregor and otherwise known as one-half of Bark Haze with Thurston Moore) moved from western Massachusetts to Nova Scotia in mid-2007. Before he moved, he wanted to have one big audio blow-out to remember the grand old Mass times. With that goal in mind, Gown went into the studio with the Sunburned Hand Of The Man gang (represented this time out by John Moloney, Sarah O'Shea, Ron Schneiderman and Taylor Richardson) to melt some audio consoles. For The Maples represents a portion of that recorded output and believe us, it's some massive stuff. Sunburned's thick funk presents the perfect background for Gown's shredding guitar-play. extremely hot stuff, especially the massive side-long 'Bending Close.'
