These collections of songs<br \/>\nwere written by two homeless friends from Alabama while living in<br \/>\ntents in rural Northern California under the sky without walls or<br \/>\nroofs. Their mixed blood holds some American Indian somewhere, but<br \/>\nthey have no reservation to live. Yet they make a deliberate attempt<br \/>\nto be indigenous to the Earth nearby, away from city babylons. The<br \/>\nband&#8217;s chilled out vibe has been described as everything from<br \/>\n&#8220;Spacemen 3 meets Booker T and the MGs&#8221; to &#8220;Spiritualized raised in a<br \/>\nbackwoods Florida swamp by their freaky uncle, Steely Dan.&#8221; Bring<br \/>\ncrystals.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel AIU Belteshazzar Higgs was the singer for the band Lungfish<br \/>\nand is an absolute modern day shaman. His presence in person and on<br \/>\nstage is absolutely mesmerizing. In another time he would have ruled<br \/>\nthe world, or been burned at the stake, or had his own cult. In<br \/>\nLungfish, his stream of consciousness vocals, add a distinctly<br \/>\nspiritual quality to Lungfish&#8217;s droning repetitive caveman krautrock<br \/>\njams. His newest solo LP, Ancestral Songs (Holy Mountain), is<br \/>\ncomprised of apocalyptic tunes, a banjo raag, mellifluous birdsong,<br \/>\nand the sci-fi-sounding duet of a searing Jew&#8217;s harp and toy piano.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Are You of the Body?&#8221; brings out the electric tamboura tone and an<br \/>\naccompanying acoustic guitar to melt the spine. A distorted motorik<br \/>\nguitar riff propels Ancestral Songs to a close by focusing on the<br \/>\nconsistent tone and vibration that flows throughout the album. New<br \/>\nalbum out on Thrill Jockey soon&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Chiara Giovando&#8217;s musical psyche (voice, violin, electronics) is an<br \/>\namalgamation of intuition and critical thought. This can be a<br \/>\ntumultuous union, at times leading to rash judgments, at other times<br \/>\nto the detailed expressions of sensed truths. The Baltimore City<br \/>\nPaper named her work the Best Performance Art of 2005, calling her<br \/>\n&#8220;excruciatingly tense&#8221;. Thurston Moore says, &#8220;Chiara astounds with a<br \/>\nfine balance of slow, unfolding sound-dadaistix and palpable energy-<br \/>\nmicrophone-allure.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>MP3:<br \/>\nBrightblack Morning Light &#8211; Everybody Daylight &#8211; http:\/\/www.matadorrecords.com\/mpeg\/brightblack\/brightblack_everybody_new.mp3<br \/>\nDaniel A.I.U.
