Hey. Last year I had a roommate who would lock himself in his room for hours to make music. Once in a while he'd come out and eat.

At any rate here is the result. It is dark and strange and good. Thought some of you might appreciate it.
Lo-fi roommate psych-folk! Neat!

hopefully you'll appreciate the time and love that
went into making these....ENjoy! Order-info, etc. : tiredtrails@gmail.com

Side A: Black Eagle Child
1- Bent Grass/Geb/Dogheart
Side B: oh be joyful
1- wisdom tent / ghost ride side car/ thunder hills chorus
description:
no one knows why black eagle child sprung
out of his little midwestern nest, but we're all
sure as hell happy he did. cause he came out
spitting out one prolific sound scape after another.
his brilliant side of the tape features guitar,
accordion, road noise and rainstorms. all 3 tracks
are strung together with bliss wire, static and deep
low voice choir drones. a delicate riff arises, repeats.
mimicking itself and branching off into skeletal
sculptures. the sounds sink into the wind wallowing
restlessly, as city buses from the street creep in and
swallow. this is a meditative piece. sitting on the side
of a mountain with kind buds and no-mind. examine.
B side features oh be joyful, who begins an improvised
guitar piece with the sound of the wind sailing over sea
glass, an embrace of the earth and its movement.
recorded in a tent, this first piece reflects the intimacy of
living in that small space. with "ghost ride side car," this
side continues down a bleak path with what sounds like
the rumble of a motorcycle making its way through
a deserted town at night. goosebumps and sightings.
the last track, 'thunder hills chorus,' ends the cycle with
some deep deep bass and a chorus loop resounding,
raw gurgly murk getting spit out of the polluted earth.
beware.
download: EDIT: thanks to everyone who commented & said thank you.
3 people out of the 70 people that downloaded did so.
please spread the word and come get
involved in the tired trails. come & support a little label
that uses recycled / organic materials & packaging and makes everything by hand. we're all family.
be good family. blessings, j. & the ttc.

Hello all. I've just signed up to LJournal and quickly discovered your excellent community. I'm love a very wide range of music but folk and psych-folk are definitely among my favourite styles. I suppose the greater part of my 'folk' collection consists of British artists like Bert Jansch, Richard Thompson, Fairport Convention, Nick Drake and Shirley Collins. I also some of the newer psych-folk artists but I'm not all that up to date with recent trends - Espers, James Yorkston - I like them. I'm also interested in trad. music and ballads by the likes of Jeannie Robertson, Martin Carthy, Anne Briggs and others. Anyway, I'm looking forward to reading more here and making some acquaintances. I'll be back soon. If anyone could leave me some of their ideas for further listening around the contemporary folk and psych-folk secne, I'd be grateful.
Cheers.

Hello, hi.
Some may recognize me, as I come on here every so often to share (and shamelessly promote) my music.
What do I play? Freakfolk psychfolk americana straight-up songs etc. I've been compared to Jolie Holland, Josephine Foster, Alela Diane type stuff... but if we're being honest with each other... I'm not that good. Maybe someday! I'm just starting out.
All my music is completely free and downloadable at my LAST.FM site. I also have myspace, kind of.
If you like what you hear, please, spread the word!
Thanks very much.

| Shirley Collins Request |
[16 Sep 2008|12:07am] |
If any of you lovely psych-folkers could hook me up with a classic album from the beautiful folk-Queen Shirley Collins, I would be very much obliged. Preferably Love, Death & the Lady, an album I once owned but mysteriously lost, but pretty much any album from Ms. Collins would do me good.

some beautiful anonymous donor just sent me a link to the album "Rooms" by Loren Mazzacane Connors and Suzanne Langille and asked me to pass it along! thank you, whoever you are! it's lulling me to sleep right now in that dreamy, languid way that only these two can accomplish.

I'm still pining for the album "Crucible," if it's out there...

Does anyone have the album "Crucible" by Loren Connors & Suzanne Langille?
I really want this, since I ordered it for cheap online and now the seller is telling me that it will be awhile before he can ship it. If you don't have this one, though, I'd still be very grateful for anything other than "1987-1989"
in the mean time, someone requested Tiny Tim albums awhile back so here's this:
"With Love and Kisses from Tiny Tim: Concert in Fairyland"

I'd like to introduce you all the amazing, hypnotic sounds of
Seedhill Bruiser, a schizophrenic gay man from Scotland who makes "gay folk songs and sea chanties". I have a hard time describing his sound, it's sort of almost shoegazer and has almost that "wyrd folk" kind of sound. He does a lovely version of my favourite hymn Idumea and others.
Here's his myspace page

| If you're curious about Shape Note singing |
[07 Sep 2008|03:21pm] |
If you're at all interested in Shape Note or Sacred Harp singing, (or especially if you've never heard of them before :) ), there's a great new documentary film available to watch for free for one week only at http://pitchfork.tv/week/awake-my-soul-the-story-of-the-sacred-harp.
I love participating in this genuine community-based singing, though the theology expressed in the traditional shapenote tunes is not mine. You can find out most everything about it at http://fasola.org/. It's a-cappella roots music that has inspired some psych-folk musicians (Jolie Holland, and The Incredible String Band to name a couple), and there are young people still writng new songs (some secular) for the genre.
If you live in my area, the 33rd Annual New England SACRED HARP SINGING CONVENTION is coming up on
Saturday and Sunday, October 4-5, 2008at the Town Hall at the town hall in Walpole NH. For more information and updates go to: http://www.neconvention.net or contact: Matt Wojcik, (mwojcik "at" earthlink.net 802-246-1008)
