Moon Reflecting "Non G.M.O. Rain Dance"

In the shadow of Arizona’s mesas, shrouded in swirls of sand, there exist the keyboard meditations of Cynthia Montross a.k.a. Moon Reflecting. Her instrumentals are hymns to a precarious planet: basslines blur like chemtrails smudged over the firmament; melodies glint through veils of narcotic mist.  There is no consistent rhythm, no robotic sequencing. Her songs are wobbly and winding. They shuffle between tempos and lean in on off-beats. They twinkle at random. Non G.M.O. Rain Dance pulses like a transmission out of time, shot through with stardust and radiated soil, and left to wander the desert skies.

Moon Reflecting - Astral Blue

For many years now the Savage Young Taterbug has wandered America’s hinterlands, bewitching drugstore clerks and gas station attendants with his balladry. “Ragman Transmissions” cobbles together songs he raw-dogged on the road, left in the tape decks of friends and fellow freaks, and abandoned or simply forgot about. A few songs carry on his signature swirl of transistor static and scarecrow spirituals. Others catch him in private, tinkling on the piano and crooning deliciously. Still others are bona fide studio slammers buoyed by thick licks and harmonies. Who knows how many Taterbug tracks still lurk out there, like old jellybeans wedged between cushions. Volume one is our humble effort to round some up and savor their strange flavors.

The Savage Young Taterbug - Ragman Transmissions Vol. 1 (Excerpt 1)

Cassette $8.00
Here: https://goatytapes.com/#!/tape/focus/

Focus is a program for sense evacuation and mind enhancement. Ponderous stretches of shifting synthesizer slip infinitely inward. The slow pulse of pentatonic vibration unlocks fundamental human welfare. For this release, the musician has relinquished authorship in order to turn tones over to absolute presence. It is as if these recordings are hallucinations, visions, apparitions—keyboard reveries that come from nowhere, permeate consciousness, and disappear into the ether.

Darrell DeVore - A Song of Civilization Up to Now

Cassette + Book $12.00
Here: https://goatytapes.com/#!/tape/a-song-of-civilization-up-to-now/

“A Song of Civilization Up to Now” is a collection of rarely heard recordings by the late Darrell DeVore, an integral yet elusive figure in the long history of Californian psychedelia. The selected tracks center on what DeVore called “acoustical sound magic”—songs that exploit the resonance of organic materials in motion. While his methods are experimental, DeVore resists high-minded abstraction in favor of groove, and feeling. He uses the shape, density, weight, and tension of natural objects to utterly musical ends.

DeVore was a founding member of The Charlatans, San Francisco’s first psychedelic rock band. His jazz training, however, would only emerge in his second project, Pygmy Unit, whose album “Signals from Earth” remains a holy grail of California jazz-psyche and a radical precursor to Jon Hassell’s “fourth world” aesthetics. Much of his later life was spent in quieter surroundings, raising children, building instruments, and forging his own musical cosmos in Petaluma, California.

The release comes with a hand-printed booklet that combines documentation of DeVore’s instruments with his poetry and drawings.

Discount Heaven House Band is an elegy for friends long made and suddenly lost. These are low-lit, ember-glowing vignettes captured during the hours between late night and early morning in Tijuana, Mexico. Played by Alfonso Azcaiturrieta, Ian Collins, and Brandon Ángeles with an appearance by Peter Gray Hurley, the recordings were made in memory of Kiva Ivey, taking on new depth and complexity following the death of Ángeles. Grooving but doleful, extended yet broken, they are loose, ludic, and ever-unfolding. Thick basslines bend under the shuffle of a rhythm box, pangs of melodica cut through glittering synth aureoles. Emissions from a celestial lounge act, misty and hypnotic, to accompany a final ascension.
