hundred acres / second family band


cerrando los ojos y sometiéndome a una de las divertidas secciones de The Wire en donde hacen sonar un disco cualquiera y tienes que adivinar quién es, diría que Hundred Acres es una jam improvisada entre Davenport, Chris Corsano, Paul Flaherty y Jooklo Duo. free jazz pastoral, weird folk hipnótico alrededor de una hoguera, drones, percusiones de juguete, gamelan, saxo alto, tenor y soprano, un soplo de vida, un viaje de infinitas escalas para los que añoran nuevas entradas de Second Family Band.

 second family band ~ wrong carnival, kid (earjerk, 2012)

"step right up folks! take a gander the most frightening and fantastic, merry and motley crew ever to grace the midway! The Fabulous Furry Freak Family is in! And for the price of a fin and a deuce this cassette can be yours!  The first side, 'Wrong Carnival, Kid'  is a throbbing rager worth the price of admission alone. thrown down at the barefoot hobo haven dubbed the faux-op, this one will leave you dizzy. must be this tall to ride. please remove any loose items and keep hands and head inside of the vehicle at all times. the B-side splits it's time between a creepy carny lament, 'Nopus No.23' and a funhouse flashback titled 'House of Mirrors' that will definitely keep you amused." earjerk

pasen y vean, amigos: nunca mejor dicho :) gracias al anónimo por recordarme lo grandes que siempre serán Second Family Band. tan arcaicos, festivos e hipnóticos como siempre, improvisación a raudales y ritos paganos. legendarios. la cara a sigue la senda de sus anteriores trabajos, un festín de todo, la cara b es una regresión a la infancia y las travesuras, una invitación directa al delirio, una jam de armónicas, bajos, flautillas, silbidos tétricos, silbatos de feria, lamentos, desvaríos, percusiones destartaladas, pinceladas de blues y psicodelia, surrealismo y carnivale. una gran familia. con una canción así, es fácil entender por qué parecían, parecen y siempre parecerán lo nunca oído. Clay Ruby, inolvidable. (la guinda: en febrero Earjerk editará esta cinta en vinilo rojo y blanco.)

"...Caethua, Uke of Spaces Corners, Woods, Neil Young, Hank Williams and Harry Smith’s Anthology of American Folk Music. Something very familiar here. Like a lullaby man, like a lullaby. True bedroom folk, intimately recorded in analog warmth and with a sincere delivery"

second family band

"another Second Family Band killer collision with Peaking Lights and this time with Relentless Corpse! Record live to stereo cassette in the barn on the P.L.'s compound. The flip side contains a traditional solstice jam and a small piece performed for Indra and Aaron's wedding. What is it with Wisconsin and barn jams!? Who cares. It's always a cranium cracking, mind melting experience. Feel that warm stuff oozing down your neck? That's your brain....36 copies on yellow tapes with matching case 99 copies on black cassette." earjerk

second family band

"5 or 7 second family band tunes out of thin air. Recorded on the shores of windy Lake Mendota. Acoustic strumming, guitar-body drumming, trad sec fam throat singing, courtesy db pedersen and some amazing string action from Jared Annoye. For the most part a daylight affair but the Suns definitely dip behind the cloud more than a few times. First 25 copies on sunny yellow cassettes." earjerk

second family band

"Pack some granola. Two long hikes through the haze grace this 80 minute cassette. 'Morning in the East' blazes trails." I'm taking my banjo along through the Himalayas and if you wanna drag that arp along that'd be cool with me." The flip has a real dirty metropolis groove. Traveling. Lets crescendo awhile. Way out west now...How long we been drivin? ...Any Natives still live around here?. Second Family Band" earjerk

second family band

"Second Family Band, had to happen... Let's take things to the Eye-Lands! Tropical breeze bass lines and a sunset vibe definitely rule this release. We know! We know! It's all the rage right. Well... we did what we did and now we gotta let you have it. Would it help if we let you know it just kinda happened? I mean, you can't plan these kinda jams right? Hey! I said Pina Colada not Ayuasca! Come aboard... we're expecting you..." earjerk

second family band

"Another totally spontaneous, universal sludge jam from Family II (db Pedersen, Iam Lee, Endless, Clay Ruby and Karen Eliot), Jooklo Duo, Peaking Lights, Sam Henry (Plastic Boner Band) and Jason Soliday. All the things you want from all parties involved. fluid improv jams, weird prog moments, and menacing noise. When people come to Wisconsin they just wanna gather round and jam. (cd-r, lovingly hand packaged in envelopes with one-of-a-kind artwork. Limited to 50 copies" earjerk
