BIRCHVILLE CAT MOTEL - NURSE (CDR by Fencing Flatworm Recordings)
Fencing Flatworm Recordings have quite a nice catalog of underground music
and each release comes with a nice full colour cover. Birchville Cat
Motel, from New Zealand, consist mainly of Campbell Kneale (who plays
Baby Monitor, Wood Chipper, Organ, Music Box and Beats) and Ben
Spiers on Piano Accordian. This one track release opens with a
pulsating beat, which is unlike the Motels... but after this short
intro the track 'Nurse' comes in the usual realms of Birchville Cat
Motel: a drone related sound that consists of scraping metallic
sounds that over the course of the next half hour thickens until a
swirling mass of sound arises. Working nicely in the field of
overtones, this is drone music of a somewhat more lo-fi approach that
the people of that lovely island down under own the trademark of.
