Meadow Argus

*27 copies limited edition* "The newest Meadow Argus tape melds his usual field recordings and tape loops with a particularly soothing set of organ drones, possibly made by a harmonium. The fuzzy organ rolls throughout, and cheerful conversations, birds chirping, and thickets full of insects enter the sound-picture. It’s all a pleasant stroll that gradually gets trippier, as you realize when a crowing bird echoes deep into the ether, and other sounds feel out of balance. The second side gets particularly haunting, with incoherent shrieks and sobs calling for attention, but something about it winds up being inviting. Blasted CB radio transmissions and more glimmering drones make up the final stretch of the tape, taking us far away from the family memories of the first side and into some sort of cross-country road trip, trucking on acid. This tape really builds its own distinctive world, and it’s easily one of the most impressive Meadow Argus releases yet." - The Answer is in the Beat
