TRUANT - Zellaby's Beautiful
Sacrifice (Fencing Flatworm; England)
One 39-minute piece of drone-gasmic electronics and guitar, itchy melodies
risin' damp out of the lovely repetitions. Performed by Rob Hayler
(Midwich), Michael Clough (Klunk), and Phil Todd (Ashtray
Navigations). Yes. Eddie Flowers at www.slippytown.com
Truant - Zellaby's Beautiful
Sacrifice
back to a 'proper' FFR
album. Go thru the Fencing Flatworm checklist - Fish on the cover? -
check. Lasts less than 40 minutes? - check. Is it minimal and simple
and v electronic? - check, check, check. Etc etc ha ha eh? - It' s v
v good indeed. 'Hayler' and 'Clough' are responsible for the electronics,
the itch of a hair-shirt full of bugs biting you in rhythm . crrrth
crrrrtch trrrrth . and on top of that 'Todd' plays a gtr a bit like
a gtr on parts on NWW's first album (been CENTURIES since we namechecked
that album) . it's nice to have this quiet strange album playing very
loudly and just to think, yno, thoughts about what 'it' is all about,
life and the big things, love and loss and this hot sunshine, wondering
if it is ever sunny in Leeds, does Leeds ever have any sun? So there
you go, a very easy-to-listen to (therefore Easy Listening) album that
encourages me/you to ramble off at tangents - it starts/middles/emds
with the confidence to always be itself. From Dddd #73 (Marleys, Minstead,
Hants, S043 7FY, UK
