Jack Rose has been a member of the legendary drone/noise/folk group Pelt since 1995. Pelt along with Tower Recordings, UN, Charalambides was one of the early groups who forged a new sound that combined free improv, drone, traditional folk music in the early to mid nineties, later coined "weird new america" by the Wire's David Keenan in the early oughts. Since 2001 Rose has pursued his own path in the solo acoustic guitar solo genre as invented by John Fahey. Like Fahey Rose draws his inspiration from early rural American musicians like Charley Patton, Skip James and Blind Blake. In addition to those influences he gleans inspiration from Robbie Basho, Ry Cooder, Zia M. Dagar, La Monte Young, Terry Riley. Jack incorporates all of these elements into his own idiosyncratic style and it is his sound and his alone. Since 2002 he has released 3 critically acclaimed LP's for the Eclipse label, 2 cd's for VHF, a 14 min track alongside fellow travelers: Rick Bishop, Stiffen Basho-Junghans and Tetuzi Akiyama on the now influential "Wooden Guitar" anthology released by Locust and one LP side on the massive triple LP set "You Shall Know the Roots, by it's Fruits" with Six Organs of Admittance, Ursa, Joshua, Dreaded Fooled, MV and EEC that was released and went out of print this year.
Tara Burke of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania employs voice, guitar, organ, dulcimer, accordion, Casio and more to create her home-recorded acid folk as Fursaxa. Her debut album Mandrake was produced, engineered, and released in Japan by none other than Kawabata Makoto of Acid Mothers Temple.
Her sound combines folk, lo-fi, hashish smoke mixed with incense drifting out of a cathedral doorway, dreams that skirt the edges of nightmares, hallucinatory droning organic primitive sophistication.
Neptune, who are based in Jamaica Plain, Boston, began life as the sculpture
project of singer/guitarist Jason Sanford. Though they have had a degree of
success touring mainland Europe, Neptune are predominantly known within the
perimeter of Massachusetts's underground music scene, where they frequently
self-release limited edition runs of live recordings with individually
personalised covers.
Utilising remnants of scrap metal such as rusted saw blades and bottle tops,
warped bicycle tyres and abandoned gasoline barrels, Sanford originally
soldered the monstrous looking guitars and complex circuit boards that
provide the backbone to Neptune's distinctive, abrasive and largely
instrumental style of Industrial hardcore. Alongside bassist Mark Pearson
and drummer Daniel Boucher, he creates a tumultuous blend of detailed,
mathematically precise rhythms punctuated with gusts of white noise and the
capricious electronics of Pearson's handmade synth and oscillator 'boxes' --
small metal contraptions that are attacked with drumsticks and iron tubes to
detonate a stream of arbitrary harmonics amid the group's thickly discordant
fug.
