The Julie Mittens
April/June
Rococo Records RCC-0021
LP
£11.99
Debut vinyl release from this amazing European power trio who surf the post-Fushitsusha spaceways with massively expansive psychedelic guitar instrumentals that wring blood from epically sustained single note voltage, scattershot, martial drums and brain-thudding bass guitar. This particular instalment is a little more 'stately' than the previous self-released CDs, with Aart-Jan's electric guitar a little closer to the kind of post-Beefheart/Twin Infinitives logic of Keiji Haino's playing circa Allegorical Misunderstanding. Bass and drums work precise architectural shapes around the wailing six string, giving each improvised track the feel of a precisely conceived instant and the record is designed for you to be able to drop the needle anywhere and watch the river flow. Four tracks in all. Recommended.
