"Ryan Waldron has a keen sense for the ethereal. The sounds he conjures from household glasses to rickety old strung things reflect a fair and balanced illustration of the nature of our reality. Minors and majors gently twist and curl in organic harmonics. No attempt is made to beautify or perfect the output for the objects resound in their own subtle inherited vibration, harmonious even in dissonance."

"Evan has been a creative member of Housecraft for years but with his contributions focusing mainly on the visual side of things, rarely do we hear from him. This journey sets sail down a corridor lined with archaic tape loops, subtle creaks and texture, brief guitar/synth meanderings, and ambiguous acoustic swells; fused with a gulp of electric ooze that brings the listener into an inviting underworld cluttered with dust and stacks of gently eroded books, fabrics, negatives, and running film projectors. These dense, incensed surroundings reflect a spirit of playful exploration and uncertainty as each overturned artifact glimmers briefly and then vanishes. "

issac willow - ingestion of flavor shack - housecraft - cass - 7$
"The first side goes through two different workouts, the opening being a short kind of frothy, bubbling feedback stretch that leads into unexplainable mechanics, unlike that of mixer feedback and the like... this is more like a giant clothesline draped from the moon whipping the neighborhood into rubble and vanishing out of sight only to swing back for more, strewing about debris. Side two plays out like a biblical afterglow; broad drums awkwardly bounce through the cackle of hemp fires in a squatter's temple courtyard. edition of 70."

bluesharp - staggered marsh - housecraft - cass - 7$
"Minimal go-nowhere-and-stay-there guitar slip and slough, the kind of thing that crawls out from rocks at night and into your speakers, rousing the strangest of memories, ones that perhaps were experienced by generations prior. Its simple and linear approach is transparent and unclouded by any kind of excessive noise or layering; each element is at the forefront and fully exposed. Maybe it sounds like Royallen picked up a guitar. edition of 100."

there's a spaciousness here that immediately invites the listener to make themselves comfortable in a wide open space. scattered steel and drums bang and slide about in every direction, quickly shifting into hypnosis when drumming takes on a different role, one that corrals the senses into more subtle layers where chiming things lurk under fine linens of relaxed melodicy. instruments wind up and down in 'two' to raga-bleached twang, flutes, and hand-percussion. walls eventually crumble and the sky is wide open.

Recorded at an altitude of infinity, these two west-coast giants have touched the dazzling pinnacle and continue to send back bombs of transformative ether for fertile minds. There's a perpetual unfolding motion with this project that sucked me in from the first time I'd heard 'The Thaw' (released twice now by NNF). Here, that dynamic is ever-more-refined and, again, totally magical. However if your eyes begin to foam violet, you may have had too much of the Gooh.

tuluum shimmering - longhouse spirits gather for fragrant island river dreams - housecraft - cass - 6$sold out
'Transporting' comes to mind but that doesn't seem right... this is more like a living presence. It reminds me a bit of what Siddhartha might have felt sitting on that bank, hearing/seeing an endless, seamless flow of voices/faces in the river. But rather than voices come down cautiously fused reeds, percussive bells/clatter, and rising/falling synth scales which are, at times, reminiscent of Terry Riley's work on 'Shri Camel'. Regardless of how I see it, only metaphors seem right when conveying these four compositions. This project in neck-deep in the ethereal and a must-experience for the immersive listener.

A viola and its player are thrown into the trees when Horsehair goes to dust. Carl Frant breaks the reed with breath alone and spontaneously vanishes in a curious shadowy rift, Stan Lenthouse lends his woven sword and accidentally falls on it (red everywhere), and Malleable Leroy Jax is brooding still, bringing down the entire mountainside with some serious junk-pulse hyper-vibrational ferocity. In the end, everyone lies buried in splintered wood and shattered granite, smoldering at the feet of one Isaac Willow. Fusions of deities, come and gone, burn the day away, traversing earthly atmosphere in opacity; because friends that smoke together, stay together.
