***Gem piled upon gem of woozy, VU-tinged cosmic American music delivered by some familiar Western MA faces (PIgeons/Sunburned/SQRM) will surely excite fans of early Drag City, Gene Clark, Country Teasers et al. Lyrical content explores the enjoyment of inexpensive wine, the enjoyment of wine having been transformed from water by Jesus, nude perambulations, remorse, and spiritual consternation. "Because piss flows from us animals, and is as natural as spring water—and holy water, for that matter."

***"'Free punk' that's by turns playful, absurd, weirdly funny, oblique, and catchy as hell. Always on the verge of falling apart, or actually doing so, though these recordings are imbued with a certain warped vision and propulsion that holds up the Shaggs-ish disorder. We're mega psyched to be releasing one of our favorite current bands."

***“Wes has been working in and around the Berkshires for some time, performing solo, duo, or with full band. His music stretches out quite a bit, sometimes offering a more homespun, traditional mountain bus folky type feel, other times extending outward toward Dead spaces or even Arkestra-esque freakouts. He’s released records with Michael Hurley, self released CDs, and been collected on CD by the wonderful Mystra label.His record with us, The Towering Ground, will be his first LP and we’re very excited about it. The songs collected here maintain a bit of his folky character, but they offer something more in the way of a hazy, If I Could Only Remember My Name / Fred Neil’s 'The Dolphins' languor. The songwriting chops Wes displays are strong, and while he’s a New Englander, there’s a California sunset melancholy running through these tunes, recalling a bit of FJ McMahon’s mournfulness or John Wonderling’s knack for somehow still chilled-out grandiosity...”—Half A Million Records
