CD
£9.99


CD reissue of the long-time-coming solo album from Ash Castles On The Ghost Coast/Iron Kite/Friday Group member Shawn McMillen (originally released on vinyl last year by Emperor Jones) to mark his inclusion on the new Imaginational Anthem roadshow/tour. The moves here orbit classic Charalambides/Pelt/American Primitive modes, albeit dilated via huge deserts of UFO tone, percussive bongs that are almost Partch in construction and the sound of railroad lights dancing around the periphery of your brain. Some beautiful low lonesome sound. Recommended.

One-Sided Picture Disc LP
£16.99


Edition of 214 one-sided LP with blood red silkscreened flip. Looped and live collaged ritual atmospherics and crude guitar/drum psych stand-offs that orbit a similar zone to early NNCK from a group that feature Tom Carter of Charalambides, Shawn McMillen (Ash Castles On The Ghost Coast), Brian Smith (Iron Kite et al) and Blake Carlisle. Less drone-focussed than previous releases and deeper into a kind of savant ESP Disk Godz/Fugs séance style.
