DOWN HERE #2: HILLSPIRIT
HILLSPIRIT
Information: Fucked-up, loose guitar/drum/effects skronk from Trapdoor Tapes and friends.
Known recordings: S/T CS released by Trapdoor Tapes (TT031), ‘Occult of Lamb’s Blood’ CDR (TT039)
3 tracks on the CDR release: 1. Lambs Blood 2. Ragwort 3. Hollow Hills, presumably a single live session it’s split up into three tracks running to a close in just under 11 minutes. Total free-form exercise, heavily stoned jam session with strong percussion over the struck, beaten guitars, effects, junk, first track finds it’s legs toward the end with a nice drum down-beat then straight into track two where the pace propels as if the druids behind the instruments fly into a thrashing, panic state with a effected, tremolo-chopped sound coming in only to close out with the track three come-down all-out raucous racket. Flies past the first listen, repeated plays finds the layers underneath the imposing mess and revealed overall rhythmic sound on the otherwise written-off bookends.
