From Sloow Tapes: "Follow-up to their self-titled cd-r which appeared on Time-Lag earlier this year.

The Sound of Rain/North Carolina 45rpm 7-inch, Azriel, 6/2006
A. The Sound of Rain
B. North Carolina
Design by Nemo Bidstrup.
From Nemo: sweet vinyl debut from the mighty fine death chants, releases on the bands own new label. if you tuned into any of their great self released cassettes, or either of the time-lag cdrs, you pretty much know the deal. in a pretty mellow smoked-out drift mode here, the a side is sunny strummed acoustic guitar mantra with bubbling modular synth bleeps, distant buzzes & drones, occasional noisy bursts and half slurred wordless vocal. the b side is less songy with sweet drifting keys, thick viola drones, ebow guitar hum and an ultra peaceful ambiance very sweet stuff. perfect baked summer evening porch music. heavy moss colored art board covers, with black offset printed art by nemo. limited / numbered edition of only 320 copies."

From Nemo at Time-Lag: "gorgeous new full length disc from these newborn sonic voyagers, and their best stuff yet... all the finest elements of the bands two self released cassettes, natural history & moss master, lifted ever higher by added electricity and some slight distillation... flickering neon smoke rings of sound dissolving into the atmosphere... alternating melancholy/ecstatic vibes with raga-esque acoustic guitars, chiming electric guitars, slippery liquid flute, harmonium, sparse percussion, blissed female/male vocal bits, low level bass drone, kosmic synth tickles and damaged tape warble, plus one beauty of a 'song'... the kind of smoked-out bedroom cult, eyes to the ceiling, home-fi psychedelia we just can't get enough of... packaged in an art paper cover with beautiful full color paste-on art, heavy gloss insert, and a 'found' insert. hand stamped blue bottom cdrs. hand numbered edition of 180 copies."

1. A dog in the ether
2. River Road
3. States
From Time-Lag: "reissue of the band's self released cassette debut from summer 2005, and to our ears one of best new projects birthed last year. these guys appeared out of nowhere with this all too brief dose of lifted folk/psych... the disc opens with a plaintive acoustic guitar & cello lullaby, shifts into a slowly unfolding mutant raga launch, and climaxes with ass-shaking throwdown stomp, complete with infectious vocal nah nahs, killer detuned drumming, snaky flute, and chugging acoustic riffing... all executed with a great spontaneous vibe & warm lo-fi glow... packaged in an art paper cover with paste-on art fully reproduced from original cassette. hand stamped black bottom cdrs. hand numbered edition of 180 copies."
