eastern fox squirrels
Eastern Fox Squirrels is a collaboration between Brad, his wife Eden and Robert Horton. Along the way they are joined by the talents of Tom and Christina Carter (Charalambides), Dan Plonsey (a player in the company of Anthony Braxton and Eugene Chadbourne) and Jason Bill (Charalambides, also recording with Jack Rose.)
Sonically, Eastern Fox Squirrels has a varied pallet. Like the Jewelled Antler folks, we have bouzouki, glockenspiels, bowed banjos, weird exotic flutes and who knows what else being used to great effect. The results being very much like what you'd expect; experimental but with soft, round edges and nice, nearly ambient dirges that feel welcome but really aren't normal." lvd

sala-arhimo
sala arhimo - pelko pois (time-lag cdr, 2006)
me vuelve loca el saxo dulce dulce, las campanillas y la guitarra de Turilas Ruusussa, la mántrica y hechizante Kolmiyalkainen Koira, el saxo caliente, la cacharrería y el órgano de juguete de Yarmas Parkki, la asombrosa melodía de Sina Kirkas, el exótico acento finlandés y la flauta pajaril de Lihaa Vai Maata, pero sobre todo esa pequeña opereta delicada y ensoñadora llamada Onnellisten Saari, en la cual he percibido un bonito hurto melódico a Salainen Paikka de Kemialliset Ystavat. sala-arhimo es un lugar plácido, acolchado, acogedor, calentito, planeador, fluctuante. la ataraxia, la calma total.
"Islaja (Fonal) side-man and frequent tour-mate with Larkin Grimm (Secret Eye), Sala-Arhimo's debut oozes a slow psychedelic radiance from a half-frozen world of hibernation. A bit of ancient Pink Floyd as reference point, perhaps some of the jazz-like moments of Faust's more gentle side, but here all comparisons end. This is another one of those 'you need to hear it, but there's no way to get it' Finnish geniuses whose music shares much affinity with the Lal lal lal crowd (Kemialliset Ystavat, Avarus, etc.), but focuses less on the purely experimental, and more on rich, melodic drones and voice."

Ahora mismo, mientras suena Taking on the rails, me parece sin dudarlo la reedición, el disco, la grabación y el acontecimiento del año. Por Psychedelic Underground y sus trece minutos de mantras, guitarras y slides, por Thou shall be wakin y su arrebatadora melodía gitana con violín, voz y percusión, por la preciosa Taking on the rails, porque se oye, entre una maraña de cánticos y mantras, el cri cri de los grillos en The light ahead, the dead fields behind...Free Country suena pletórico, inspirado, inabarcable y muy emocionante.
