True Bright Blossom

This came out earlier this year on Pavilion.  Great record.  <End>

Leyland Kirby, or “The Caretaker”, creates music that is a true representation of the mind.  His music pieces together a fragmented and haunting world of sound into a manipulated puppet show of parallels.  Taking samples from 1930s and 40s ballroom music, he cuts together noises and melodies, never meant to meet, to create something newer than tomorrow.  A highly prolific character, Kirby has too many amazing records to chronicle here (I suggest looking further into his creations).  Ranging from a vivid accord to melodious abstraction, his musical landscape spans further than that of most musicians.  One similarity among them is the consciousness felt flowing through you as sequences of frequencies traverse one’s thoughts.  I can say for certain that for a mind, the best prescription for understanding its own is the music of Leyland Kirby.

“All you are going to want to do is get back there” from “An Empty Bliss Beyond This World”

Enjoy this beautiful record; it will be hard not to.

Sorry for the extremely long break containing the absence of music.  Here’s an excuse: I was in the middle of the Amazon and computers there tend to not have internet. Enough of that.

A message from the artist:

"First of all, Fuck all of you for not downloading this. because of this i wont hang myself today; 
however you who knot your necktie like a noose ought to die. While we burn in the heat of texas
 and live off what money we can find on the street we kill". "Keep music Evil" 

______ Well said guys, this 
music has a very solemn and soul sound worth revealing, give it a try and you will see the understanding. 

From the middle of America comes the Dead Sea Choir, not to be confused with the similar, yet different, “scrolls”.  Spread the word, and the music.

I have lived through the sounds known and passed the ones unknown.  It was past that brought me sound to mind, and I was there to let it hold true;  It is this, the beautiful music of Alexander Scriabin that brought and continues to bring joy.  The music, a disease, will fill you up and let you be, let you see, and set you free.  It is the music that will grow parasitic and, like a drug, will envelop your body, your soul.  What will be left?  This drug will capture your mind, your self.  You will helplessly cease.  Grieving, your parents will stand over your departed body, a body robbed of life, yet given life’s most precious belonging, the flood of elation, the music of Scriabin.

Speaking of Jeweled Antler Affiliates:

Brothers, Cayce and Sidney Lindner, created and self-released this album in 2001.  It’s an array of electric guitars, synths, reverb, and shimmering melodies, with a lingering folk vibe.  To this day I find it very difficult to relate this album to any other artists.  I really think that these brothers had true originality and creativity flowing through their blood.  Take every song you’ve ever heard and throw them away, this is how we’ll define music from now on.

This post may be 10 years late, but this under-rated album is really urging to be listened to.  So, if you want to hear something that may not be new, but is surely unique, then push the button.

Glenn Donaldson, of The Skygreen Leopards, put this jeweled antler collective disc out in 2002. My first impressions of the album found a similarity with the earlier on skygreen leopards work. If you are a fan of any of the jewled antler’s work, you’ll enjoy this one. It’s a nice folk and chill sound with a shade that covers more than just the orchards. A few listens of the wilting guitars and whispering organs and you’ll be somewhere only the birds have been.

Ben Chasny’s newest release, Asleep On The Floodplain, is a prepossessing masterpiece.  The album seems to follow perfectly in the footsteps of Empty The Sun and Luminous Night.  The album as a whole has a very diverse feel.  On one end you have the calm sagas such as “Brilliant Blue Sea Between Us” and “River Of My Youth”.  Then you have the more acoustic, such as “Poppies”, a silvery and unique guitar solo, and “Light of the Light”, a personalized guitar/vocal melody.  Chasny’s fine vocals and lyrics tie it all together and bring it to life.  This is surely an album you will want to listen to as a whole;  The perception it provides is alone where it stands.  Go pick up a record or compact disc from Drag City before time runs out.

Some genuine country blues/folk coming from Peggy Honeywell.  If you are a fan of Karen Dalton, then this will deserve your attention.  I see myself listening to this on a long country-wide road trip with no destination.  Maybe even realizing at one point that I have no shadow meaning that I may not actually exist anymore.  In any form of existence though, definitely give these albums a listen.
