about

7 track album. Released in a double slip case with 'Island Of Death'. Note : Due to Bandcamp restrictions, this is an incomplete version of this album. Please visit the link below for the full release.

"From the autumn of 2011 to the spring of this year I was recording tracks for what would become the next We Are The Wooden Houses release. When it came time to compile those tracks for a release I soon realised that the resulting album would be too long for one disc and certainly too much for one listen. What to do?

These two releases come together. They are separate entities packaged as one, hence the individual catalogue numbers. The physical release has two slip cases in one gatefold sleeve and is limited to 25 copies.

The music : Everything from previous Wooden Houses releases is represented here. There are solo guitar pieces (Lilith, Cloudy, Oak Island Rag), Acid/Free/Psychedelic Folk (The Sky Is Falling In, Beechead), full blown psych (Vampire Skeleton Mystery) and some soundtrack music without a movie (Expansion Dig).

'Kora' and 'Witchs Cat' are a little different. They both began as improvisational jams and had layers of overdubs applied for consideration later on. Not knowing what to do I approached Alastair (Stone Tape Theory) for help and they quickly turned into full collaborations. Both retain their eastern raga beginnings but with the addition of a second mind remixing and composing, plus looping of drum tracks and the addition of samples they sound quite unlike anything from previous releases.

Alastair also has two compositional credits on these releases with 'Cursed Revenant' and 'Hour Of The Rose'. These tracks were made up from unused overdubs, loops and effected parts of existing songs.

Most of this music is instrumental and the majority was initially composed late at night while watching movies. The original concept was to fuse John Fahey, DJ Shadow and John Carpenter. While that concept has been strayed from I think you can still hear it. I hope you like it." - Stephen Benson.
