Still RurAlive !


After a long period of silence , and some ridiculous delays to mail off orders, artist copies and trades, it's time to RE-promote a little bit the last ruralfaune releases.

You can find them at good and essential places like Boa Melody Bar, Eclipse or Tomentosa but also at faune's cavern.
Thanks to Gayle from Boa for the marvelous and perfect descriptions :

and ... act fast , limited series as always...



rur047 Gryn Brvs "Shooob" cdr
"Irish duo with previous releases on Digitalis and Chocolate Monk. Spaced-out drone / percussion unease"

rur048 Elwood and Guthrie cdr
"Great release from this duo. Foot stompin' banjo / drums folk tunes that will appeal to Black Twig Pickers' fans. Comes with a twig, a piece of pot pourri and some beautiful bird portraits"

rur049 Nicholas Szczepanik - "To the Moon and Back Again" 3"cdr
"Ambient smoke signals from this Washington DC sound-artist. The kind of dream-drift that sounds like the lingering image of a sound long departed, similar to Andrew Chalk."

rur050 James Bloodbeard 3"cdr
"Four-piece featuring Steven R Smith (Thuja, Hala Strana etc), Jason Honea (Child Readers) and Mark Williams and Brian Lucas, both of Father Beard. Free strumming, the insistent wheeze of melodica and spaced-out vocals. "

rur051 CJA
part I : "The Dio Years" 3" cdr
Early recordings from Clayton Noone (Armpit, Futurians, Wolfskull). Infernal pits of doom-drone, occultish backward tape morass and hypnotic riff-ery.
part II "Bruce Lee" 3" cdr
Sparse bedroom recordings featuring Clayton Noone (Armpit, Futurians, Wolfskull) on just acoustic guitar and mumbled vocals.

rur052 Enfer Boreal cdr
"Electro / acoustic manipulations from Maxime Primault that result in electric pulsations and wire-tingling drones"
Previous releases on Cut Hands, 267 Lattajjaa, First Person, Ikuisuus

rur053 Pefkin "Possible Confusion Species" cdr
"New Pefkin release that comes with a lovely rural twig and handmade paper sleeve. Short fragments of toybox folk and VCS3 / violin throb. Four longer tracks: mutilated thumb piano and bubbling vocals recorded on Joe Meek's old Ampex tape recorder in its death throes, harp / clarinet / vocal drone / tone meditations, spacious wild wood folk-improv and ending on a hugely reverberant organ and Radford oscillator drone with melancholic melodica offering a requiem to an extinct bird. John Cavanagh (Electroscope / Phosphene) plays clarinet on one track. "

rur054 Monks of the Balhill "Vibratory Convulsions" cdr
"A duo comprising a member of The Cosmic Mandoliners and "V". Star-gazing folk dreams and drones - melodica, acoustic guitar, percussion and wordless vocals pitched skywards. The more spacious pieces (including one with the most cosmic whistling I've heard!) are reminiscent of Ghost Brames. Held together with hessian and string."

rur055 Van Ginhoven 3"cdr
"Swedish singer-songwriter with a fondness for purple frilly shirts and a passing resemblance to David Crosby, who lists among his influences Linda Perhacs, COB and Tim Hardin. I'd add Townes Van Zandt to his list. Melancholic and elegant songs with great arrangements of strings and piano."

rur056 Arklight "Nolo Contendere Rakkasans" 3"cdr
"Blasted beatbox beats and damaged electronics that sounds a bit like a really mangled Suicide."

rur057 The Doom Riot "Let the Lights Come Down" 2cdr
"(etno-doom-folkish-drone-noise) Claus Haxholm"

rur058 Pipeline Alpha "Astral Chills" 3"cdr
"Astral chills indeed. Spaced-out analogue synth bubbles."
