plankton wat ~ spirits (thrill jockey, 2012)

"Plankton Wat’s Spirits album reflects the undeniable chakra-centering power of Portland Dewey Mahood, who also plays with Eternal Tapestry, Garden Sound, and Edibles. on Spirits, Mahood refines his psych-rock proclivities into tranquil emanations reminiscent of Alice Coltrane and Don Cherry’s most sacred gestures and the liquid bliss of Sensations’ Fix’s “Music Is Painting in the Air.” the ten tracks here radiate a holy, pastoral beauty, making Spirits an early contender for my top albums of 2012 list." the stranger

"the music is inspired by the pacific northwest environment, the mountains and coastline, the weather, sky and clouds, and my closest friends." dewey mahood

edibles ~ super space/mind peace (not not fun 2010)

"A natty sidestep into phased sunshine and reggae abstractions from pdx posi preacher Dewey Mahood (Eternal Tapestry, Plankton Wat, Bloodbiker, etc). Super Space/Mind Peace is Mahood’s debut release under the Edibles banner and it captures seven of his most colorful and casual cruises into high-flying space junkadelica. Chilled guitar echoes, dub percussion details, vapor trail melodies, and basement bongos bop along like the slowest brokest car along an island dirt road at dusk. All instrumentals except for the wordless fog chant on “Inna Groove.” More from this champ is on the way courtesy of fellow west coasters Stunned and DNT. Peace out properly the first time around."
