how was everyone's weekend? mine was boring and lonesome. sniffle. anyhoo, enough about my mopey ass, you all want to get to the noize!
here' the Vibracathedral Orchestra / Sunroof! split put out by the lovely vhf records a while ago. i'm pretty certain it's oop, but if not you should run and grab it cause it's essential listening.
the cathedral lads and ladies are up to their usual drone and moan business, with loads of high-end violin scrape and random percussion clatter, but there seems to be a lot of singing on this recording, which isn't always a mainstay in the songs... if you are a fan of any of their releases, then you'll really dig it. really, they have never put out anything anyone could call remotely bad, and this release seems to be much more upbeat, mostly because of the ever-present percussion.
Sunroof! for those who are not "in the know" is matthew bower and whomsoever he decides to invite to play with him (richard youngs, neil campbell, tirath singh nirmala, the skaters, etc.) this project of his tends to be much less noisy than most of his other projects (skullflower, hototogisu, total, mirag, etc.) and more concerned with a melodic-sort of drone that carries you far into the high end, with drum-machine loops and singing bowls and loads of his usual distortion, but not in the usual blow your eardrums out fashion (though it's still loud as fuck!) this release sounds to me to be much akin to his cloudz cd or maybe ussa, not the intense wall of guitar skree to be found on silver bear mist (also on the spotless vhf, get it now.)
for fans of the drone for certain, this is a great split 2xcd and well worth your time.
