Having admired their killer output "on the fringes of obscurity" for many years, we are thrilled beyond words to have teamed up with Feeding Tube Records to bring you the debut LP by More Klementines. A limited run of 124 green splatter vinyl records, hand-assembled, inked, and numbered, is now available here. Earlier this week, The Vinyl District took a deep dive into it and had some really great things to say about it, like that it can sound "like Popol Vuh, Amon Düül, and Milford Graves traveling down a river in Fitzcarraldo’s boat." We agree!
Recorded in an afternoon with no planned approach, no talk of what it should sound like and no song structures, this release features Twin Lakes co-founders and members of Myty Konkeror & No Line North...three sound-brothers making music in the most organic, joyful way possible. A cosmic catharsis. Music scored on the fly — electric guitar below, banjos and mandolin above, filtered through strings of effects pedals while being propelled by the percussive pulse of wood, steel and skins. All deployed in a fashion that pushes and pulls as if at one with the tide and buoyed by the blues. With no preconception, what was captured was a sort of long overdue conversation, in a language not studied, but fluently spoken and uniquely their own — a soft tread into Appalachia that side-winds into Krautrock and drifts down terrestrial pathways through time and space. An ecstatic sound for all the East Coast heads and a salve offering to melt and evaporate the currents of turbulence. Ease on back and enjoy the ride...
