My Cat Is An Alien / Glands Of External Secretion + Nels Cline
From The Earth To The Spheres Vol. 5
Very Friendly
***NOW AVAILABLE ON CD!!! Fierce blonde BARBARA MANNING and Bananafish founder SEYMOUR GLASS are joined by NELS CLINE on lap steel for "Icebox," a slow ascent from isolation through frozen tape manipulation, icy drones, and subtle infernal groans from the obscure side of the moon. This “defrosted mix” of “Icebox” features all sorts of bonus frequencies not on the limited edition vinyl. The unearthly fragmented vocals of Italian OPALIO brothers create the heavy, emotional textures of the interstellar "After the Meteor Shower," with howling guitars and electronics, the distant echo of a drum, and a whispered chant emerging from the concrete surface of the planet. UK import.

***The third in Very Friendly's new series of BOREDOMS reissues gets you the band's stunning second major label-released album, the group's fourth album overall. A raw yet somehow sophisticated blend of speedcore, punk, dub, psychedelia, biker rock, kodo, gross-out weirdness, and more, recorded with what sounds like an unending curiosity as to "what that button does" in the studio—though the band never sound remotely self-conscious, nor do they get bogged down by the grim worthiness which plagues post-rock these days.
