ah, marcia basset. how we love thee. UN, Double Leopards, Hototogisu, Zaimph, GHQ, and who knows what others... this lady knows how to make some crazy noise. don't forget steve gunn, who releases cd-rs under the moniker moongang, and pete nolan tears the skins in magik markers.
here's a ltd. cd-r put out by heavy blossom a few years back entitled "la poesia visiva". it's an intense forray into the psyche of the three members (marcia basset, steve gunn, pete nolan), consisting of clatterring objects, random electronic hums and buzzes, violin scrapings, deep organ drones, accoustic guitars, throaty wordless singing, harmoniums, and other esoterica that makes this a much less noisey affair than one may expect, but don't let that fool you. the lack of harsh noise means that the drones are more earthy and organic, drones you can feel in your chest as well as soul. turn this puppy up, the recording quality isn't the absolute best.
for fans of any of the member's other bands. this shit is gold.
