Space Chanteys
(Fringes - 10) LP $15.00
Recorded live in October 2000, released in 2002, the soul of Matt Valentine's volk music emerges from syncretic collisions between psychedelic rock and avant garde jazz and country blues and trance-drone-minimalism, as well as a primitive form of volk-proper. The material on Space Chanteys is beautiful in its fracture. Its fissures phosphoresce in the darkness with an unearthly radiance: glow-in-the-dark teeth set into the gums of eternity.
