DOWNLOAD: High Wolf - Japan Tour 2010 CDR

If you saw my top 50 of the year, you would have read how good last year's Shangri L.A. is, and know how high a regard I hold French one-man jungle groove machine High Wolf.  He's all sold out of his special Japanese Tour released CDr, and it's up for downloading from his own label Winged Sun's Bandcamp at a fee of  name-your-price.  Jump on that HERE. 

He's off to the US for a Not Not Fun-related tour that started last night in Seattle and heads into the depths of SXSW for an NNF showcase, alongside other psychedelic luminaries such as Plankton Wat, Pete Swanson, Starving Weirdos, Sun Araw, Robedoor and more - check out the poster on their site for more dates and details:  ▲▲▲

Relatedly, I also strongly recommend you get the L'Amazon Ram Arkestra album from HERE for similar kind of steamy percussive thrust.That name should tune you in to the right plane of mental being.

VIDEO: Eternal Tapestry - Galactic Derelict

Literally psyched in every sense that Eternal Tapestry have another record coming out, on Thrill Jockey no less, titled Beyond the 4th Door. It's out on March 15 and available now for pre-order now.  This band features Jed Bindeman of Heavy Winged fame on drums, and his brother Nick from Jackie-O Motherfucker, Dewey Mahood from the way-out backwoods Plankton Wat and dub deep trio Edibles - the signs are there, aligned in blazing bright starbursts, that this is a band you should already be locked in to.  They're also from Portland, Oregon, which is also home to about a hundred other essential bands at this moment in time - everyone out there is tapped into something seriously intense.

The full album is a 45 minute edit of a live session played out for who knows how long - the essential elements being distilled down into a final collection for release.  Read a load more intricate detail about the band's history and the forthcoming album on the label's website HERE 

Now feast your ears on this gargantuan lead track and accompanying eerie sci-fi video:
