Eidetic
Union"Free
London" is now available on Bo'Weavil
Recordings, which devotes a side of vinyl apiece to ourselves, Ladywoodsman,
Wooden Spoon, and Rob Mullender. The material is drawn largely from our
earlier, more priapic days as cargo-cult priests in Pinner. Consequently
there is a more stuffed-with-cloth-and-wasps smell to the higher order harmonics.
Nobody was hurt during these recordings.

The second LP is stranger still, with the first side coming from
the Eidetic Band, a peculiar quasi-electronic blend of small instruments
and serious production skill. Its obvious that these guys have honed
a talent for splicing sounds together and when you list a teak butt plug
on your instrument list
well, I dont even need to go any further
with that do I?

'The Eidetic Band are a trio that work non-idiomatic allusion that vaguely
touches on Volcano The Bear/People Band style notions of freedom while still
referencing established UK modes of improvised dialogue via bass, cello,
tone generator, zither, laptop, guitar, power tools, sax, keyboard et
al.' (Volcanic Tongue)
"Threshold Music" (our first
release on CDr) is slowly bleeding out of the door, mostly via the Rough
Trade artery, with some Rays
Jazz (in Foyles Bookshop, Charing Cross Rd, London) seepage. It
is packaged in lovingly hand-produced artwork by Nervous Stephen Fowler.
There will only ever be 99 of them, though they will never cease to be living
documents of the phantasmic-ordinary.
Place this on the end of your
fork and see what happens
while you still can..
these 8 improvised tracks cover a lot of ground from abstract
folk, through to amm-ish drone-worlds with plenty of plinking, plucking,
bashing and blowing in between. these cats sound like they know what they're
doing, think eugene chadbourne / derek bailey, no neckblues or wooden wand
(at their most abstract). a fascinating, fun-packed listen. (Rough
Trade)
Our new CDr is called "We Trackers Of Immemory"
and contains rupturing and feral acoustemologies of the most electrokind.
Every-thing is dreamt through with purpose and effortlessly clear (dis)integrations.
extra help on hand from Andrew Morgan (percussion, stringed ones, voice)
and again, Mr Stephen Fowler has blissed us with his potent visual enclosurifications
(you know, for the cds).
