Long Fin Killie - Houdini






























HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Year: 1995
RYM / Here

A mid-90s Scottish band, Long Fin Killie may be best known as the band that singer Luke Sutherland sang for before subsequently embarking on his solo project under the name of Bows. Other members in the band included Colin Greig, David Turner, and Philip Cameron. Over the course of three albums and numerous singles, the Scottish act cemented their musical style and constantly employed a mix of delicate string arrangements, horns, and of course, Luke Sutherland’s often delicate singing style that often ventured into more aggressive waters during certain tracks. Singing about topics that ranged from issues of race and sexuality to societal standards of beauty, the group remained anything but your typical rock act during their brief existence. -Last fm

Korouva - Sleepwalker


Year: 2009
RYM / Here

KOROUVA is a musical project based in Portland, Oregon. The music is known for it’s lo-fi aesthetic and mysterious aura. Lyrics are often muddled, live shows are almost unheard of, and information on the group is sparse. Whether the group is actually the sole project of portland artist Miranda Lehman remains unknown. Most information on the band surfaced when black metal act Velvet Cacoon, allegedly plagiarized the 2007 release, Shipwreck & Russian Roulette. No known photographs of the band/artist exists anywhere. -Last fm

Pilfering the heavy from seminal acts like Electric Wizard and High on fire, and the wailing guitars of drug lords Pentagram, Phantom Glue's colossal wall of sound would make Phil Specter shit his pants. The quartet shacked up to record their debut with Kurt Ballou (Converge, Doomriders, Torche etc.) at his Godcity studio for a live session of cranked amps and rumbling floor boards. With mastering by Nick Zampiello (Isis, Torche, Cave In) and hand painted artwork by artist and guitar player Matt Oates, this self titled record will do more then put Phantom Glue on the map, it will help them stomp all over it. -Tor Johnson Records
