heard ‘get innocuous!’ on the wecb ghost show (thank you) and reminded me of this gem of an album
upbeat, fun, and not my usual rock/alternative beat
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hey kid wanna hear some free jazz from hell?
Take a schizzed out trip for your listening pleasure (or displeasure) with Carnival Folklore Resurrection Vol 11/12: Radio One & Two. The album taken from a broadcast of the band Sun City Girls that originally aired on Brian Turner's WFMU radio show in 2002.
Sun City Girls were experimental rock group - though to call them such feels misleading already as they cannot be easily summed up for simplicity’s sake.
Formed in Arizona in 1979 by brothers Alan & Richard Bishop and Charles Gocher they have had an obscure and prolific career.
The band is known for taking fragmented recordings of world music, answering machines, tv & radio media and defying genre and space and time, regurgitating everything and anything in their path and melting it down into a sick chaotic soup of their own peppered with a heavy hand of spoken word improvisation.
This is one of my favourite albums to play while I’m painting or trying to do anything creative really - the constant motion from fragmented thought to thought and genre to genre really keeps the wheels turning.
I frequently throw tracks from it into my other playlists like little interludes for breaks from reality.
So take a trip with your Uncle Jim while he’s all hopped up in amyl nitrate - kick it with beatniks performing ritualistic theatrics with tongue tied mystics & join a cargo cult as you get lost in the paranormal and esoteric wild wild world of Sun City Girls.
i’m on a mission to go through all the archives and see all of the wonderful recs left by guests (i’m at 336), but once i get past a certain point, everything starts to get glitchy, and the colors for the font and page start to become inverted. the pictures don’t load. it’s a lot. but other than this i still love yall
it’s so beautiful and intimate. depending on ur mood, it can make you happy, concentrated, or somber. I do not ever cry, but this has been the only song to ever make me do so. It's my favorite song ever.
