Radical Cemetery Cassette Release Show @ XYandZ Gallery Tonight!
Radical Cemetery celebrates the release of their Moon Glyph cassette N.N.E. tonight at X,Y,&Z Gallery. Picking up where the epic Stoned Minors left off, N.N.E. paints another dystopian landscape in distorted Casio chiaroscuro. You can listen to "Black Hawks Down" here. More info about the release show can be found here.
From Moon Glyph:
Slow gauze of eternal hypo-presence is the ultimate microwave ooze that settles post-plastic baking. Seems this vibe was in the thick air of the basement Radical Cemetery laid this set of tunes down in, a murky, deeply retro-active wormhole where deposits of alkaline and asbestos brew in a coldrun of familiarity. Lurking in the shadows of doom sludge, "N.N.E." represents a wholly defiant concoction, as indebted to the harsh realities of "Dopesmoker," as it is the sentient mist of a screwed free jazz.
