Basillica 'The Correct Ritual' BH 015


New Bells Hill tape out now.

Basillica is the solo path of Mike Vest, perhaps currently better known as a founding member of both the doomer crew that is Bong* and the psychedelicist rock trio Lobster Priest**. “The Correct Ritual” is a somewhere-fidelity reality/unreality influenced soulmanifest collection that lightly references the tradition of Matthew Bower’s onemangoneheavenwards projects. This is no mere reiteration of other’s ideas though, Basillica decant a heavy aural imagery of Anatolia/Hindi temple guitar, tape fug and wah-wah.



In an edition of sixty c90 Purple tapes, thirty in ‘Betty Davis Style’ cover and thirty in ‘Go Bosch Style’ cover. Thujone not included.

*debut vinyl out now on Heidenwut Productions - you need it.

**4 CDR set out now on Fuckin’ Amateurs – you need that too.

Andrew Paine "Weekend World" Review at Foxy Digitalis and Volcanic Tongue

Foxy Digitalis said

Volcanic Tongue / David Keenan said...

Hand-numbered edition of 50 copies on this new UK label run by underground music journalist Scott McKeating. Paine is best known as a regular collaborator with Richard Youngs and here he presents five tracks scored for electric guitar, vocals, ring modulator and singing bowl that run the voodoo down with further explorations into this whole macabre modulated vocal style that has been slowly infecting his back catalogue. The opening track could almost be an obscure Nurse With Wound cut circa Homotopy To Marie while later tracks add electricity and drones to create a particularly austere take on English devotional music that factors in influences as wildcard as Kluster, the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, Richard Youngs, Eliane Radigue and Ivor Cutler. One of Paine’s best sides, comes with full colour sleeves and stickered mylar insert.

Another review from Smooth Assailing. Richard Dawson's Eyeballs is pretty much the bomb.

Mechanical Children review up @ Smooth Assailing

The first of hopefully a few reviews up at SA of the first few releases, Jupiter's Storm definitely deserves all the praise it gets here. I'd post the whole thing, but I'd like to point the traffic there. Great site.
