As a prelude to the Overflow February's Dub & Dub Adjacent shares, I'm slipping you all a bit more Holy Tongue. On this one they teamed up with Berlin-based British Dub techno producer Sam Shackleton.
The union came about after they all shared a festival lineup in Sweden. Holy Tongue, the trio of Valentina Magaletti, Al Wootton, & Susumu Mukai had initially wanted Shackleton to remix one of their existing tracks, but they ultimately settled on working on a whole new project. & what a project it proved to be. Shackleton's usual elegant signature sounds are all still here, the hurky-jerky tape stops, spiralling tubullar bells, Sound System bass heaviness, but never once overwhelming Holy Tongue's core energy.

Wonderful - thanks a lot!
ReplyDeleteAlways a pleasure to share one with you.
DeleteI'm currently rereading Tom Robbins' 'Fierce Invalids Home From Hot Climates', which i only mention because The Tumbling Psychic Joy Of Now could have been lifted from any of his novels. One more album for the groovy melting pot of periodic, rhapsodic re-education? Here's hoping so! Cheers mate.
ReplyDeleteTom Robbins is one of my favorite authors. Tumbling Psychic Joy could easily be one of his works I just finished re-reading Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas. Enjoy the fresh tongue.
ReplyDeleteThis is probably my favorite of Holy Tongue's work. Thanks for highlighting this one as well.
