padang food tigers


"warm, embracing, nostalgic, emotive. a few words to describe the indefinable, thrown into the wind to pin the immersive atmospheres located within the wax of Padang Food Tigers' (ex-drone folk heroes, Rameses III) new album, Ready Country Nimbus. comparable to feathers floating in the breeze, this London-based duo (Stephen Lewis and Spencer Grady) make their gentle passage via sublime vignettes to set up residence in pastures new. theirs is the sound of dirt and cobwebs being swept from the corners of childhood memories. the world weeps tears of knowledge, comfort, concentration, enlightenment, while handing flowers to a parade of beautiful women.

Ready Country Nimbus is an emotional sepia-tinged blend of tones, gospel, and spirit. it's more than music, it's a swelling presence. it’s inflated poetry, bent and focused through the necks of guitars, banjos and nature. It's kind of holy. for fans of: Scott Tuma, The Hired Hand soundtrack, Derek Bailey, Loren Connors, Tetuzi Akiyama." bathetic

estoy levitando de felicidad...si bruce langhorne no hubiese compuesto the hired hand, creo que la música de padang food tigers sería perfecta como banda sonora imaginaria de la preciosa película de peter fonda, como 'you can never go fast enough' para 'two-lane blacktop', o 'tropical malady' de félicia atkinson. qué pizpireta la caracola cuando hace casi dos años nos recomendaba 'go down, moses' en luzzzalig. especialmente dedicado para los que en su próxima vidosa quieren ser un banjo

¡Que bueno que sigan subiendo música! Conocí su blog en el 2009 y no lo visitaba hace casi un año. Muchas gracias por todo el tiempo dedicado a introducir música hermosa. Saludos desde Chile.
