Goosewind - The Miracle of Tape CD (Preorder)
Shrimper Records and TapesSHR 215Street date: April 19th (will ship all preorders before the street date) The only constant in the Goosewind universe, from their first recordings onShrimper more than thirty years ago to the winding spool that is their latest full-length record The Miracle of Tape, is the musical universe that belongs to them,and them only. Like Prince, Beefheart or maybe Rudolph Grey, their music isunique not just because it escapes the tether of genre, but because it is imbuedwith so many of them without becoming a slop bowl of mushy peas and carrots.The follow-up to “Grateful 4 the Times We Share” cassette-only release onShrimper from 2022 veers even further out into the ether with songs landing inbetween pirate radio commercials cooked up by Rick Goosewind and MelodyKriesel. A fool would try to describe the myriad of sound caught on magnetic tapepurchased from a Sonic Youth garage sale, so let us go with that truth and statethat this record is exactly what one might think would land on those analog reels.No digital trickery here man, the masters are painting with rocks, minerals, earth,and bone on an 8-track capturing breath in real time.
