Roy Montgomery / Grouper Split

Roy Montgomery / Grouper
(December 1, 2009 - Root Strata)

Do you like "year-end lists?" I don't either. Therefore, I won't do one. But if I did, this....THIS would be on it. I'm so excited this came in the mail today. It's a split 12" with Roy Montgomery and Grouper.
Roy Montgomery pays homage to the late, great Sandy Bull by playing Fantasia On a Theme. This is a live track that was recorded at St. Lukes in Christchurch on March 19, 2009.

On the flip side, Grouper gives us 4 new tracks--highlighted, in my humble opinion, by "Hold the Way." Dark, moody, atmospheric and just down right awesome. Listen to this now.
And just for kicks, the packaging is great and it comes with a print of Liz's artwork.

Tracklist:

1) Fantasia On a Theme By Sandy Bull (Slight Return)
2) Hollow Press
3) Vessel
4) Hold the Way
5) Pulse

Dreamt On - EP
(February 17, 2009 - Vosotros)

This dude rules! In an attempt to be lazy, I googled (I love how that's a word--googled) Bobb Bruno so I can just cut and paste whatever someone else had already written about him. Sadly, there isn't much info about him.
Well, this dude is in pretty much every cool band out there today--Pocahaunted, Sun Araw, Best Coast, and Magic Lantern to name a few. Like all good EPs, this one ends too soon.

Tracklisting:

1) Night Lights
2) Dreamt On
3) Fairy Tale Ending
4) 14k
5) Psychics
6) Microloop
