Split

VINYL FORMAT. Newest Blackest Rainbow hot on the heels of some truly killer releases from the artists involved, both of whom seem to have really pushed their sounds and vibes to new levels this year. Barn Owl's side has been mastered by local jammer Ben Nash, and its three tracks of sparse drone layered with bleak guitar epic-ness, tingling chimes, and dark mountainous whispers. The guitars here sound delicate and beautiful, but it remains bleak and empty, if you enjoyed their LP on Not Not Fun, then this is a real treat. Tom Carter's 16-minute 'Train Kept' follows pretty damn nicely from his recent Shots At Infinity releases on Important. A far cry from his more psychedelic folk experimentations, here he slashes and riffs like many a legend, and maybe, just maybe, it's a slight tribute to a certain band, too? This is a fully wild piece of work. Black sleeves, pasted stark landscape cover, with an insert of liner notes. Limited to 380 copies.
