The Music Tapes-
For Clouds and Tornados
Oh man, I am seeing the elephant six guys (including Scott Spillane and Julian Koster and maybe, only maybe, jeff mangum) in brooklyn in march for two nights. Been continuing my obsession with all things elephant six with my favorite album by the music tapes :]
From ping pong percussion to the singing saw to the strings, banjos, accordions, to julian koster's thin and haunting vocals, this album is straight experimentation but with a beauty and dissonance and desperation in it. this album has most of the music tapes best songs including "Majesty," "Freeing Song for Reindeer," "Manifest Destiny," and "The Minister of Longitude." Nothing ever like it, nothing that will ever come close to it
