The Government Artists are a three-piece band comprising Bass, Drums, Guitar creating improvisationally-inspired original material.
All of the tracks here are works-in-progress and so contain a perfect balance of rawness and moments of sublime beauty.  Oh yes.  Indeed.
The Government Artists are available to perform at all types of events ranging from the opening of a shopping mall to the opening of a packet of crisps - anytime, anywhere, anywhen, anyhow.  Seriously, we're available for gigs!
Don't cool us, we'll cool you.

I am an experimental/ ambient/ drone guitarist based in the UK. My music involves undulating pulses and psychedelic guitar lines; I am interested in using tone to express meaning, and using whatever I can to take my music to new levels. My current solo work uses one guitar, one amp and a series of effects pedals to create loops of sound and changing guitar lines.

"I have a habitual tendency to liken music like that created by The Gray Field Recordings to another world that exists within and without our own, something that I consistently seem to refer to as the realm of spirits, as cliché as that may seem...as we dig through the innumerable layers of post-industrial and avant-folk music that populate our ostensibly dark underground, we find artists that somehow manage to create brilliant works of both extreme artistic importance and immeasurable beauty that still seem to simply vanish into vapor without notice from most of those whom perhaps should be attentively gazing in their direction. It’s almost as if these artists aren’t manifested to completion, becoming only visible to those of us whom are listening closely enough..." - Heathen Harvest

Formed in 2001 by R. Loftiss, The Gray Field Recordings is an amalgamation of noise, classical, folk, and ambient...often all together in a single song. Justin Jones, David Salim, Frank Suchomel, Alan Trench, and Mike Seed have appeared on several releases.

The Howling Larsons is a new project from R Loftiss (The Gray Field Recordings, AntiClock Records) & Alan Trench (Temple Music, Orchis, Twelve Thousand Days).

Building on the esoteric acousmatic experimentalism of The Gray Field Recordings (hear examples here: http://soundcloud.com/the-gray-field-recordings ) and the psych/drone hermetic aesthetic of Temple Music ( https://www.facebook.com/pages/Temple-Music/256212474409378 ), The Howling Larsons play noveau occult psychedelia full of twists and whispers, a many layered mycelium of psilocybic delights; sometimes acoustic, sometimes full of electronic sideways glances, and always entrancing.

Their debut album, ‘Fool Of Sound And Furry’ has just been released on Reverb Worship ( http://www.reverbworship.com ). Underground Greek psych mag Wild Things said the album was : ‘enigmatic but very beautiful…  among folk countryside walks, spooky stories, Sufi poetry, magic flight, all in a bright kaleidoscope of mystery but  (containing)  the house of candy built by the wicked witch in the countryside as a trap for unsuspecting children… There is some connective tissue and an inner logic that simply must be investigated and deciphered... However, if you do not bother much to solve puzzles, the disc for you can be just a magical experience…’ (with no thanks to Google Translate!)

Currently working on their second album, ‘Greatest Hits Volume Two’ (already snapped up by a new label).
