Family Underground, a band of free-musicians hailing from denmark, are known for their releases being fairly hard to get. mostly putting out cd-rs or limited lp runs, this band is one that is tough to find, especially here in the u s of a. well, it's a good thing you got your old friend kills to help you out, eh?
this is their qbico lp entitled "Ancient Shadows." anyone familiar with the band will instantly recognize their clatter, a free noise drone scape that puts them into the same territory as bands GHQ, vibracathedral orchestra, the skaters, and double leopards. the drones scrape and blur, bend and shift, sounding cloudy and murky yet still fresh and exciting (well, as exciting as drone gets...). it's really no wonder that they mostly put out cd-rs, as this music tends towards that format, as i am certain that most of these "songs" are never performed again, each release is more of a time-period document than a set-list.
for fans of the aforementioned bands, the finnish free-folk scene, qbico records, my cat is an alien, and the noiseier moments of jackie-o motherfucker. definite good stuff, but not for everyone.
