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.
