THEO ANGELL & THE TABERNACLE HILLSIDE SINGERS - "Auraplinth" CD (Digitalis Industries) Freak folk, diy spirituals, and diverse usage of different roots sounds and ideas. ANGELL was a member of JACKIE-O MOTHERFUCKER and HALL OF FAME. This reminds me a bit of stranger DEVENDRA BANHART moments. Tracks are very different from each other often having different instrumentation. 1. Odd group singing, a number of acoustic guitars, and joyous in some way I can't put my finger on. Ends quiet and minimal. **2. Slow banjo, simple with strange and funny lyrics. Finding a corpse? Eating something out of it? 3. Simple guitar and mainly voice. Rambles a bit. Unique melody line. 4. Faster guitar, almost-falsetto, something about spacesuits. **5. Guitar more up front, repetitive ina good way. **6. FCC Slightly psychedelic. Great song which is too bad he says fuck a few times. 7. Finger picked guitar and a different style singing. Reminds me of DEVENDRA BANHART. 8. More electric and bluesy. Poppy hippy jam. 9. A handful of vocalists making odd vocal sounds along with a slow drum. 10. Tambourine (?) and vocals. Short. 11. Minimal improvised sounding guitar and off key singing that sounds like Halloween singing. **12. Like track 7. Folk and I hear the DEVENDRA BANHART. 13. Flute to go along with the pretty guitar. **14. Darker and longer track. Murder ballad? **15. Strange vocal sounds. Manipulated vocal sounds? Good stuff. -mph | ||
