12" LP

"Suzanne Stone as 'White Gourd' is US Pacific Northwest's hidden treasure. Known for her abrasive sax & voice in the esoteric jazz trio Million Brazilians, Stone approaches her unique solo performances as White Gourd from a very different angle often involving dreamy saxophone, neo-Nico vocals and haunting key textures as a ritual tapestry of tarot-influenced blessings. 'Hermit La Lune', her latest LP on Psychic Sounds, contains a very eerie spectral landscape from which sings spells of solitude and seasonal cycles over waves of bells, water animal wails, sword sharpening and etheric piano work seamlessly through this timeless witchy advancement. Highly Recommended!"

VOLCANIC GREMLIN MAGNET
Million Brazilians & Thollem Electric
\
Order at Psychic Sounds Store
"Wonderfully
weird collaboration, between avant free jazz tribalists Million
Brazilians and legendary improvised pianist Thollem McDonas creating a
combo of yet another freaky transmission from whatever otherworldly
outpost these mysterious Portland free jazz & drone outsiders call
home, and lordy, is it chaotic, throbbing and beautiful. Eerie wavering
electric insect buzz delicately unfurl near the start, quiet and
pretty... that gives way to a ceremonial gong call churning into a
rhythmic jam of deep bass and cyclic hand drum groove, super fuzzed-out
organ, angular guitar thwack, flute coloration, and wailing sax
sometimes in perfect harmony, other times exploding into an eruption of
turbulent jazz freak out truly sounding like a primordial opening of
volcanic cavern. Within those various sounds, MB & Thollem,
intentionally twist everything up, adding all kinds of evocative
noises, woozy marimbas, mysterious rumbles, swirling jungle drums, sonic
detritus of bells, shakers and ghostly calls that seem to unfold and
flower and splinter into all sorts of different shapes and sounds as the
set progresses forming some sort of scene like a Central American
ritualistic exorcism into ecstatic celebration ending with a gorgeous
distant flute calling. The Million Brazilian's sound have managed to be
dangerously distinct and totally prolific, but completely enigmatic and
underground at the same time. With Thollem's range between spastic
gritty textures to enthralling minimalist pulsations of a well tempered
synthesizer, "Volcanic Gremlin Magnet" creates a lush, expressive, and
alien strain of jazz. It's a fantastic 54 minutes, all right! Highly
Recommended!"

CORUM:
EFFIGY MOUNDS
"Following
the exotic and electronic jazz form as the pulsating primordial spirits
of his first album titled Beguiling Isles, Effigy Mounds plays back
like a hallucinatory cave field recording where snippets of tape were
collaged to reveal the waves of a deep portal opening, sounds of
bubbling ingestion of strange and luminous compounds, and the rhythmic
pulse of spores landing in Earth's atmosphere by way of shooting stars.
Less exotica and more experimental, Corum's latest document plays like
an alternate soundtrack to the film Altered States in some forbidden
South Pacific isle lodge during the magical dialogue of extra
terrestrial speech. Highly Recommended! "

MILLION BRAZILIANS:
WET DRY JUNGALA
12" LP
ORDER HERE
"Million Brazilians sound like a
corps not of this hemisphere, but one influenced by its discoveries via
travel and/or scouring the deep web.
Separated into nine untitled compositions, Wet Dry Jungala clings
with a humidity mostly foreign to the North Americas. It’s not to be
mistaken for the escapist brand of tropicalia - the sort that inspires
relaxation and cabana service - but rather the hysteria of eight days in
the desert, the spiritual exhaustion of following a shaman into a sweat
lodge, and the endurance of trudging through a rainforest bog, swatting
off mosquitos.
Save for the ominous western Americana of “Untitled VI”, Million
Brazilians transfix to the percussive drone of Eastern worship hymns,
and an experimental flare for complicating their world music into
claustrophobic depths of psychedelia.“Untitled V” mimics the bass groan
of bullfrogs against rough transmissions of spoken word. Terrifying
shrieks and yips like those of post-punk heroines past are pitted
against free jazz skronk and tribal trance on “Untitled IV”. Once
referred to as “dungeon jazz”, Million Brazilians’ Wet Dry Jungala
denies pigeonholing with each untitled passage."
