padang food tigers

padang food tigers ~ ready country nimbus (bathetic, 2012)

"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

rameses III

rameses III - matanuska (music fellowship, 2006)

son Spencer Grady (guitars, noises), Steve Lewis (guitars, percussion), y Daniel Freeman (keyboards, processing), pero firman como Rameses III. crean atmósferas increíblemente relajantes y apacibles, de cuento de las mil y una noches. buques fantasmas, niebla, ghost tropic, lluvia, teclados, Taco me Manque, cantos de pajaritos y cantos a lo Ben Chasny en la emocionante Blood in the Palm of your Hand. para escuchar en una habitación a oscuras, con el volumen no demasiado alto

"Avant-folk unit Rameses III hail from a place where subtle drifts are priceless. These insular drones are highlighted by rich acoustic depths, adding so much contrast that it's heartbreaking. Within these digital walls rises something majestic, extracted from the soil. Having worked with the likes of Jack Rose, Christina Carter, David Grubbs, Robert Horton, Ben Reynolds and Fursaxa, Rameses are getting ready to release their first proper CD album, Matanuska, on The Music Fellowship"
