To apply these words to the sounds created<br \/>\nby the various duo\/trio configurations of the Texas group Charalambides<br \/>\nover the last decade plus would be understatement. To be sure there are<br \/>\nnumerous antecedents to their music; to deny this of any artist&#8217;s work<br \/>\nwould be akin to saying that they are deaf. But they have surely broken<br \/>\nnew ground in the primitive \/ folk \/ mystic \/ improv \/ psych valley in<br \/>\nwhich they toil. As Marcus Boon wrote in The Wire; &#8220;&#8230;here is a truly<br \/>\n21st century experimental ethnic music that explores quietness and<br \/>\nstasis&#8230; in the same way that musicians in the second half of the 20th<br \/>\ncentury discovered amplification, noise and speed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Primordial Undermind is led by ex-Crystalized Movements guitarist Eric<br \/>\nArn. Active for more than a decade in different forms and in different<br \/>\ncities. Dark, spiritual, yin-and-yang paisley&#8230; These aren&#8217;t just<br \/>\nburnouts playing loud, distorted psych. They&#8217;re paranoid burnouts playing<br \/>\nloud, distorted psych. Behold the swirling madness and tranquility. From<br \/>\nstreams of molten electric guitar sputtering geysers of fluid ectoplasm<br \/>\ninto the air, to high desert country influenced elements left to blister<br \/>\nand bleach in the sun&#8230; so utterly gorgeous in places it&#8217;s like a long<br \/>\nview of paradise.<\/p>\n<p>The Ten Thousand Things is a common phrase found in Taoist and Buddhist<br \/>\nwritings to connote the material diversity of the universe. It represents<br \/>\nthe dynamic interconnection and simultaneous unity and diversity of<br \/>\neverything in the universe. Lao Tzu, for example, writes in the Tao Te<br \/>\nChing:<br \/>\nTao produced the One.   \/  The One produced the two.<br \/>\nThe two produced the three.   \/  And the three produced the ten<br \/>\nthousand things.<br \/>\nThe Ten Thousand Things is also the pen-name for Wes Covey. He is a kind<br \/>\nsoul who is into finger-picked guitar loops, drones and eastern<br \/>\ninstrumentation. This will be his debut performance so please be kind.<\/p>\n<p>MP3:<br \/>\nCharalambides &#8211; Spring &#8211;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.brainwashed.com\/common\/sounds\/mp3\/charalambides-spring.mp3\">http:\/\/www.brainwashed.com\/common\/sounds\/mp3\/charalambides-spring.mp3<\/a><br \/>\nPrimordial Undermind &#8211; Akaknow &#8211;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.latinobuggerveil.com\/ejmp3s\/Akaknow.mp3\">http:\/\/www.latinobuggerveil.com\/ejmp3s\/Akaknow.mp3<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>** HELP US CELEBRATE OUR 1 YR ANNIVERSARY WITH THIS AWESOME SHOW ** Saturday, March 3rd @ 8pm @ Landlocked Music &#8211; $5 &#8211; ALL-AGES!
