BIRCHVILLE CAT MOTEL sind die Könige des neuseeländisches Gitarren-Low-Fi-Drones! Diese insgesamt 6 live-Mitschnitte beweisen das eindrucksvoll, es sirrt, schwirrt und virbriert an allen Ecken und Enden, ultra-minimal & mit mikrotonalen Bewegungen und auch einigen Überraschungen (knarzende Holzsounds, Stimmengemurmel, undefinierbare glockenähnliche Klänge tauchen auf, etc.. ).
Das ganze in einem Spektrum von tranciger obertoniger Kontemplation über vibrato-haftem Schimmern bis hin zu fast krachigen Arrangements, in denen auch hypnotische Perkussion zum Einsatz kommt, ein einziger Hörgenuss!
"Three CD live retrospective covering 1998-2006 and including shows in New Zealand, Japan, Denmark and Scotland. Chronologically organized, the album also shows the evolution of Birchville's sound from the mid '90s slowly emerging drone-fields (and use of found sounds) to the more dynamic sound we have come to know from the more recent releases such as Beautiful Speck Triumph and Chi Vampires. For Campbell Kneale, this release is a 3-hour aural report on the state of things, capturing the full spirit of what he's accomplished over the past 10 years. In doing so, he's assembled the best possible overview of his work under one title, without rehashing any material from previous releases. Thus, what we have here is a 3 disc best-of, featuring all new material! Packaged in a custom vinyl wallet (versus a traditional jewel case)." [label press release]
