about

New LP of avant-blues shamanism from Finlands Keijo Virtanen.
Based in Jyväskyl Keijo has been active in the improvised experimental scene for decades- he is now in his 60s- but was only really discovered by the outside world following the release of a self titled CDR in 2003. Specialising at this time in drone music created with a variety of acoustic and electronic instruments with accompanying throat singing he surprised many people by embracing- in a very idiosyncratic fashion- a primal blues styling in the later part of that decade. (A book of his blues lyrics was recently published).
Singing predominantly in English he has a one of a kind phrasing and timbre to his voice. The songs are immediate and raw, accompanied by layered electric guitars, harmonica and frequently abstract percussion...
'What Is Going In The Country' marks something of a dayglo sidestep back into the psychedelic dronescapes of his earlier work. There are blues songs aplenty but also extended periods where his muse runs off into the forest and the music becomes very abstract indeed.

Numbered edition of 80 lathe cut LPs available from

Hate
by Gate

supported by 6 fans who also own “Keijo- What Is Going In the Country”

It's been a very busy weekend for Michael with this being the 2nd Gate album(one new and this reissue) to come out along with a solo project. Originally released in 1990, this is the polar opposite of the other Gate record and sounds like it was recorded in Hell's garage in another galaxy, because no one on this planet has caught up even now, 27 years on. It's completely deranged and monumentally magnificent. Gavin Hellyer

99 tracks to meditate upon the nature of support in the face of adversity... 99 tracks to dwell upon the value of friendship and solidarity... 99 tracks to celebrate recovery and growth... 99 tracks to consider our own good fortune... John Cratchley

Toise Make Noys
by Uncle Woozee

This wild experimental artist from Chicago uses electric kazoos, tape loops, and more to craft far-out, wonderfully confounding songs. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 15, 2021
