[Microsound-announce] kyrgyz

[roberth]

hey everyone,

can't think of a better way to end the week than officially announce
the arrival of the debut album from the mighty kyrgyz:

Kyrgyz  Self-Titled  (DIGI020) - $12
Kyrgyz is a name that will be unfamiliar to most, but the band's
members read like an all-star team of Bay Area improvisers.  This
quartet consists of Tom Carter (Charalambides), Loren Chasse (The
Blithe Sons, Thuja, etc), Christine Boepple (Skygreen Leopards
Skyband), and Robert Horton (Broken Mask, Infinite Article, etc). 
Kyrgyz's debut album is 60 minutes of droned-out bliss.  With its
roots firmly planted in trance-inducing soil, the six songs here
stretch their branches toward the sun.

When four artists of this caliber come together in a single setting,
the expectations are high.  There is tension to spare.  But Kyrgyz is
such a perfect blend of all their talents that it never implodes
beneath the pressure.  Horton is the hand that guides this mix of
heavy, hypnotic drones, a thicket of acoustic scrawl, and even free
jazz skronk..  Each sound is carefully chosen and blended together
magically.  There are equal elements of Charalambides and Jewelled
Antler throughout Kyrgyz, but again it is Horton that upsets the
balance to create something completely new.  In the end, this is
nothing short of brilliant.

and why not make it a robert horton 2-for-1 weekend as we're also
happy to offer this new gem on foxglove:

foxglove104: imperfect masters "strike out" cd-r - $7
ever been hypnotized?  taken back to some distant memory as if it were
real?  well, imperfect masters is straight from the womb.  this duo of
robert horton and dan plonsey is a disheveled mess of spiderweb drones
and floating jazz curses.  these compositions are a breath of fresh
air from the sea, tingling all your senses like the day you were born.
as horton deconstructs plonsey's magical saxophone playing, you are
flushed from your perch like a night owl running from dawn.  at times
it's like being chased through a fantasy land and at others it's like
finding nirvana.  one thing is for sure, imperfect masters wears the
crown.
