Son of Earth
Carhole

Apostasy Recordings APO15

CD-R
£7.99


Live recording of the trio of Matt Krefting, John Shaw and Aaron Rosenblum at the Belchertown Carhole 2003. Slow metal sonatas, almost subliminal use of tiny sounds, distant, evocative drones and an approach to the jam that owes as much to Organum and Mirror as it does to AMM and MEV. Comes packaged in a folded-in Global Priority mailer with insert and colour cover. Recommended.

Apostasy Peace Squad
s/t

Apostasy Recordings AP-011

CD-R
£7.99


Live document of an Apostasy action featuring members of Son Of Earth et al that converged on Amherst Common on April 20th 2003 in the name of peaceful co-existence and the furtherance of the modes first laid down by The Familiar Ugly on The Red Krayola's Parable Of Arable Land. Besides the group there are interjections from passers-by and variously dazed on-lookers that give the whole piece the feel of a classically punk action-prank. Comes wrapped in the usual inside-out Global Priority sleeve and comes with a large poster. Now out of print at source.

Son Of Earth
Pet

Apostasy Recordings AP-024

LP
£10.99


"Son of Earth began life in early 2000 as Son of Earth-Flesh on Bone Trio. Aaron Rosenblum, Matt Krefting, and John Shaw, inspired by many spirited late-night experimenting sessions, began to play out using wild arrays of sound-making devices. As the years have gone on, the group has chiselled away at the number of instruments used and brought their once maximalist and varied sound creation down to a whisper, a murmur, a sound that hints at and flirts with texture and atmosphere; a music made from almost nothing. Seven full years into their life-span, Son of Earth offer their first full-length LP, Pet. The record represents a culmination of sorts of a certain arc in the Son of Earth sound, one where simple electronics and oddly-played instruments are combined to create a music that walks a tight-rope between easily definable atmospheres and emotions. The results are so delicate that at times the music seems to cease to exist at all." - AR.

Dredd Foole
Songs To Despond Ya

Apostasy Recordings AP-029

LP
£14.99


Beautiful limited live album of space/folk songs from Mr Dan Ireton aka Dredd Foole, with a close-up acoustic guitar style that functions as a mainline to his vision of classic rock/balladeer forms (Dylan/Laughner/Reed/Buckley) lubricated by time/space slippage and new vectors of osmotic tongue pressure, all topped off with those amazing vocals. Dan revisits a bunch of previously recorded tracks and subtly alters their co-ordinates and the way he implies a whole universe of freedom with simply a buncha guitar chords and an elastic delivery is nothing short of astounding. I’ve said it before but there ain’t nothing that more approximates the whole ‘idea’ of free folk as *the* form-destroying mode of liberated people outside of Dan’s back catalogue. And in a lot of ways, this might just be his most perfectly articulated side to date. Highly recommended.
