Out of stock

This fifth installment in the Music Fellowship’s triptych series brings together two Brooklyn bands, Mouthus and Double Leopards, and the sonically entwined Sunroof! From the UK. While each band contributes a side to this two-LP set, the artists are brought together not just figuratively on wax, but literally, as the fourth side features all seven musicians playing together. Double Leopards are Mike Bernstein, Maya Miller, Chris Gray, and Marcia Bassett. Like Taj Mahal Travellers before them, their long flowing jams are a gateway to other forms of consciousness. When you allow their glowing warmth to envelop you, you can be transplanted beyond the infinite to a blissful state where everything is known and everything is meaningless. Previous releases on Eclipse, Troubleman Unlimited, U-Sound, Chondritic, and their own Heavy Tapes/Heavy Conversation. Mouthus is Brian Sullivan on guitar and Nate Nelson on drums, and they are part of a new generation of New York industrial, primitive, noise rock, taking the lead from Throbbing Gristle and Einsturzende Neubauten as well as Harry Pussy and The Dead C. Free, jazz-style drums pound. A loud guitar wails through layers and layers of distortion. They fracture. They debilitate. Previous releases on Troubleman Unlimited, Ecstatic Peace, and Psych-O-Path. Sunroof! is Matthew Bower who, counting his previous pennames Pure, Total, and Skullflower, has help transform experimental noise and drone rock for over two decades with his dense psychedelic walls of sound. Both of Bower’s songs feature guest guitarists. Marcia Bassett of Double Leopards adds blissful ascension to the untitled first track, while Mick Flower of Vibracathedral Orchestra adds incendiary solos to (is it or is it not a Neil Young cover) “Cortez Tha Killa.” Previous releases on VHF and dozens of other labels.
