Ass/Blood Music split 7" [VAN157]
The two songs found here from Ass drip with melancholy; 'It’s In the Galley' is a plaintive guitar-led composition which twinkles and chimes despite a deep sense of foreboding, while 'Turn the Boat, Turn the Boat' is a devilishly downbeat mélange of piano and strings. A macabre hymn of sorts, you can almost imagine Will Oldham mumbling over the top of it.
Robin Saville 'Peasgood Nonsuch' CD. Hot on the blistering heels of his debut solo single (VAN 145) comes this full-length outing from the social worker turned gardener. Double digging over unlikely boundaries is something of a habit for Robin, and this record characteristically lurches between moods; from elegiac to wistful, and from meditative to bouncy, this record runs the full gamut.
