Huge walls of psych guitar imbalance from a trio who know how to chew an axe: Elisa Ambrogio of Magik Markers, Ben Chasny of Six Organs Of Admittance and Brian Sullivan of Mouthus. Miasmic destructo-rock moves in a derelict post-Dead C style. Pressed on 180 g vinyl and housed in classy wraparound silkscreened sleeve by Alan Sherry of SIWA. The LP also comes with a pressed CD featuring bonus jams from the same session. Edition of 845 copies.

New Six Organs studio album with a bigger sound and more of a group feel. Recorded by Randall Dunn (Sunn O)))/Earth), Luminous Night features violinist Eyvind Kang and flautist Hans Teuber who add to the overall cinematic feel of the sonics.

Ben Chasny of Six Organs Of Admittance pretty much put Gary Higgins back on the map when he covered “Thicker Than A Smokey” on School Of The Flower and encouraged Drag City to reissue his private press classic, 1973’s Red Hash. Higgins pretty much disappeared after it was released, going down for a pot deal and spending a period in jail. A Dream A While Back adds another piece of the puzzle with a series of stoned/loner demos cut prior to Red Hash with a similar out-of-time appeal. A Dream A While Back has a deep, rural feel cut up with subtly drug-damaged songwriting that combines paeans to oblivion with a travelling post-hippie feel and a dislocated, off-the-map ambience. 

2005 psych/folk summit between Ben Chasny (Six Organs Of Admittance) and Hiroyuki Usui aka L, whose classic Holy Letters recording became a major touchstone for Japanese acid folk. Usui was also briefly a member of Keiji Haino's Fushitsusha but here he's in a more dosed, acoustic mode, dealing in head-nodding rhythms and drawn-out string drones that Chasny wraps in a web of wood and wire.
