Chicago underground legends,
pranksters and all round undefinables CHEER ACCIDENT have just released
this new and entirely breathtaking album 'Fear Draws Misfortune' - possibly
a career peak after over 20 years of brilliance in obscurity (they
do everything differently). www.cheer-accident.com
or www.cuneiformrecords.com
Cracking debut album from
these French dada-Zappa-Bunglists VLADIMIR BOZAR 'N' ZE SHERAF ORKESTAR
- the album is called 'Universal Sprache' - great cover/packaging, rather
exciting band www.myspace.com/vladimirbozar
Seattle/New York complex,
mega-tight avant jazz/punk/prog/everything band CAPILLARY ACTION
are on a massive European tour, including loads in the UK - see the Organ
Gig Guide for London dates (18th March, Old Blue Last, 19th Cross kings
etc) - hell of an effort for an small independant US underground
band so don't miss. These tracks are all from their 2008ish album
'So Embarrassing' available via www.pangaearecordings.com
or www.myspace.com/capillaryaction
London mathists INSTRUMENTS
are playing a FREE GIG at RoTa, the regular Saturday afternoon free event
at Notting Hill Arts Club - its on the main road close to Notting Hill
tube, doors open 4pm until around 7pm – www.myspace.com/instrumentsmakemusic
BIRDSONGS OF THE MESOZOIC
are a unique quartet (three keyboards, one guitar usually) hailing from
Boston, involving people from Mission Of Burma; these tracks are from a
great double album retrospective out late last year on Cuneiform (yep,
I know... again, but if they keep sending us albums of this quality then
we can't not play it, can we?) called 'Dawn Of The Cycads' - its all their
early releases from 1983 - 1987. www.birdsongsofthemesozoic.com
or www.cuneiformrecords.com
UNLEARN are from Seattle,
this is from their finely crafted instrumental album 'Places' just out
on NoiseOrder - www.noiseorder.com
UNIVERS ZERO are a
seminal avant rock band, been going since the 70s and still gigging and
gaining new respect; this track was recorded live in Hanover, March 1984.
Its from the recently released nicely presented re-issue album 'Relaps:
Archives 1984-1986' full of rare live stuff - www.cuneiformrecords.com
From 'Out Of The Woods' an
essential compilation of their BBC Sessions, GENTLE GIANT are also
a seminal 70s rock band, but unlike Univers Zero they split long ago, lost
contact with the real world and think that nobody listens to this stuff
any more (one of them is an A&R head of a major label). www.progressiveears.com
is a good place to demand they reform, let off steam etc.
GUTBUCKET are a weirdass
jazz/avant squonk quartet from New York with a great live reputation and
a new album 'A Modest Proposal' out now on Cuneiform, from whence this
track came. - www.cuneiformrecords.com
London band THE LAKE SITUATION
rather quietly released this excellent self-titled album last year, they're
a long-evolving project from Tim Ineson, main man of ahead-of-their-time
London band Nub; this is on And Then Records (dist Cargo) www.andthenrecords.com
Next Sunday at 9.00pm Sean
O on air with a whole bag load of the adventurous outsider music we talk
of on the pages of Organ...
