Three new cds arrived early this week:

Goat – World Music. Psych, fuzz, garage, folk, afro-beats, and all under 40 mins. Looking forward to the October gig with Gnod and Teeth of the Sea!!

Six Organs of Admittance – Ascent. Ben Chasny backed by the other members of Comets on Fire. The excellent Uncut review is spot on I think – it does have a Crazy Horse feel to it at times when they’re rocking out. The quieter atmospheric moments clearly distinguish this as a Six Organs record but tracks like Waswasa and Even If You Knew will be sufficient for those of us in the small cabal who regard Comets on Fire as one of the best bands of the 21st Century (as the Uncut review begins).

OM – Advaitic Songs. Ambient OM with luscious strings. This is really growing on me. Obviously OM is chiefly Al Cisneros’ vision but you can pick out Emil Amos’ influence on this record – the depth of sound, samples, guitar and piano etc.

So a great week, two releases involving two of my favourite musicians, Ben Chasny and Emil Amos (Grails, Holy Sons).
