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.
