hand in hand

hand in hand ~ prayers to an echo god (medusa 2011)

"No-Neck Blues Band's Dave Nuss can usually be found at the centre of the world. Working, collaborating, teaching and expanding his cosmic and psychic reach ever outwards in his eternal work to be and bring redemption and peace through sound, art and the work of truth. Together with Stellar Om Source, Susanne Skov Gronland and Jakob Olausson, they are Hand In Hand and they bring you LIGHT."

"Another beautiful handmade release from Ayal Senior’s Medusa imprint..." volcanic tongue

no-neck blues band

no-neck blues band - meets the clear people with mystery gypped live at ken's electric lake (locust 2007)

"...The journey is the point, and it is impossible to describe. How the second disc’s first track continues where disc one left off is amazing in itself, but the voyage to the East that comprises disc two might be one of the most satisfying statements this collective has made. As pulse fades and is supplanted by a droned ambiance, a very real sense of architecture brings completion.

This is essential listening, not only for the nnck and Sunburned enthusiasts that might have missed it the first time around, but for anyone wishing to explore the best of what was once new and weird in America." dusted magazine

new weird en estado puro y disco favorito de los muchos que ha editado No-Neck. desde la primera nota me ha hecho pensar en Pocahaunted, Silvester Anfang y, claro, Free Country de Davenport. "untitled cuatro" (saxo, flautas, palmas, tambores) es, junto a untitled ocho (percusiones, saxo e invocaciones) la canción-mantra definitiva.

egypt is the magick #

egypt is the magick # - the valentine process (mad monk, lp 2007)

"New limited edition LP on Wooden Wand's own imprint documenting a rare outing from this mysterious NY free/mysto ensemble piloted by a buncha Hint House regulars, including Dave Shuford of The No-Neck Blues Band. The more eagle-eyed connoisseurs may have already spotted various members bolstering the NNCK/Sunburned ranks on NNCK's 1998 album, Live At Ken's Electric Lake under the Mysterygypt banner. Here the sound is of a classic lost ESP-Disk, the perfect synthesis of stumbling, primitively rendered acoustic free space that reconciles almost Shadow Ring takes on personal psychosis with a ritualistic Manson Family Jams feel and some beautifully submerged and utterly compelling 3rd Velvets album atmospherics (specifically the slow-burning gnosis of "Jesus") and temporally outta place Flynt/Hurley-styled ostrich/hillbilly protest. Flip side casts the net even wider, taking in some gloriously fucked drum machine bass and midnight hysteria and a nice, ass-flapping live full-blown psych destroyer. In other words, it goes all the way from B to Z with the kinda canny eye-swimming elan of your favourite mushroom cultivator. Or like they tell it themselves: "Resistant to the clutches of Anubis, the members of Egypt is the Magick # have emerged from a six year hiatus to produce an archival release dating from the DCLXVI Dynasty. After serving as priests to Hathor, the Mistress of Life, the Great Wild Cow, for five years, these Egyptian numerologists have honed their aesthetic reeds to razor sharp points. These tracks include glossalalia praising the pantheon, an illustration of the electromechanistic migration of the soul as well as ecstasy soaked instrumental excursions. Look for these adepts appearing at your local oasis soon! 180 gram vinyl, full color covers, 500 copies!" Totally great and highly recommended." volcanic tongue
