Julian Cope reviews the new Philippe Petit and the new Father Murphy!!!
http://www.headheritage.co.uk/addressdrudion/151/
"How d’you follow that, then? Well luckily, next up is Italy’s fabulously lawless organ-guitar-drums trio Father Murphy, who have – with their colossal new album ANYWAY YOUR CHILDREN WILL DENY IT – delivered a disc of exhilarating vocal harmonies, low church organ themes, and flipped out heathen tantrums all exquisitely staged and performed with that same theatrical drama as early This Heat or JA Caesar. Male voices call, a female voice answers. Great drums salute the far horizon, vast reed organ themes smear themselves across the near horizon, and all as the rigging of some great sailing ship strains in the foreground. Hell, there’s even a coupla truly Black Metal moments, kiddies! Striborg watch yer back! Yup, it’s weird how every track on this new album sounds as though it belongs to some great-lost ritual, as though the three Father Murphy musicians were bringing forth the secrets of some lost hermetic order. Released on Aagoo Records, this is a haunting and superb work that you really must check out. Access these druids at myspace.com/reverendmurphy, and cop your own copy and pronto, Tonto."
"Frenchman Philippe Petit is another intriguing outsider whose inspirational music springs from wells unknown. Indeed, this new album entitled ONEIRIC RINGS ON GREY VELVET dwells in such a delightful and hermetically sealed orchestral world of its own that it’s difficult to make comparisons. Monolithic string sections sent through ring modulators, tuned percussion themes of the Far Eastern variety, halting, grating passages of compelling sub-horror movie twilightness: it’s all grist to Petit’s world-straddling mill. Search out more work by this inspirational Frenchman via philippepetit.info/aagoo.com, but do try to acquire your own copy of this mammoth piece."

New limited edition vinyl
TWO EXPRESSOS IN SEPARATE CUPS
New album by Israel Martinez.Limited to 200 copies on 180 gr. vinyl.Housed in a massive 9 panel post designed by Bas Mantel.
"Mexican sound artist Israel Martínez plays architect of a blustery universe of his own creation, cobbled from highly synthesized and distended field recordings. Construction work turns into a digital hellscape, playing children are swallowed by monster drones, a subway pulling into a station is distended into a earth-shaking roar." SPIN Magazine

New Release "Hunters" Oct 25!!!!!
Hunters "Hands on Fire" EP
Clear 12" Vinyl/Digital out now!
Killer live video from last week:
The second time I saw Hunters play, another Aagoo band Father Murphy had just finished their set. If you know Father Murphy, you know that they leave the room pretty wound up. 'Intense' understates their live shows. But when Hunters took the stage, a mood of sudden release and abandon moved through the crowd. Catchy guitars, stripped down drums, dueling boy/girl harmonies -- all held together by a weird noise pop vibe. Hunters sucked me out of myself and rocketed me to an age of youth -- a time when you're not sure if you'll end up making out or passing out. These recordings tried to capture that mood and I think they damn well succeeded with an EP that's about as close as you'll get to a Hunters live show. It gives you that same feeling; the one that makes you want to hit the road, feel the wind in your hair, and hopefully make out instead of passing out.

Father Murphy Split 7" and Tour with Sic Alps!
Aagoo joins 5 Italian Labels! ( Avant, Boring Machines, Brigadisco, La Delirate and Madcap Collective to put out this 7”.Here is what Onga from BM had to say about
HOW MUCH WOOD WOULD A WOODCHUCK CHUCK IF A WOODCHUCK COULD CHUCK WOOD? - That's the other band on the split.
"HMWWAWCIAWCCW? is another italian trio living in Turin which creates a dark mixture of pagan folk blended with noises, distorted vocals and ghostly choruses emerging from the background. Like a less sustained Death in June track, "Humpty
Dumpty" slowly goes on a martial loop but with a dreamy element flowing through the song's dynamics.Mr.Lynch would surely approve.This is the first public effort put on wax by the trio, who only played live until now, releasing only a handful of homemade cdr's."The Father Murphy side is somehow inspired by the Velvet Underground "Jesus".
It sounds great to me!!!
