JON COLLIN - High Peak Selections LP Folk

JON COLLIN - High Peak Selections LP Folk'This beautifully packaged, reassuringly heavy album is a child wise before its time; generous and a little bit mysterious. Things kick off in an almost industrial vein with the spooky Prelude to CK Junior Blues in which nary a note is plucked. Thin, tinny, feedback drones croak over heavy amp fuh and inner spring clack. Strings are sliced, with a knife perhaps, or certainly menaced in some way, until the ghost gives up and returns to the ether

and triumphant

Unjustly overlooked at the time

unfused group chemistry that many bands would find enviable

Frederik Leroux

Sci-Fi film music

or that was kept covered in dust in the shell of some old recording studio soon to be torn down

consistently release small releases and prefer to stay in the „No Audience Underground“ (Rob Hayler) rather than give in to the „total existence“ (Hito Steyerl) that characterizes music at the moment

Like during the concert that Kashual Plastik drops here on cassette

transforming what at first seems like a collection of bridges into fully realized songs

which at the moment slides into weird 80's goth and then skates out back to goblin punk

An intense and heartbreaking piece where Corman's voice takes centre stage

Like Madden's nylon finger-picking
