BLACKWOLFGOAT / LARMAN CLAMOR Split 7"-Single is coming ... German psychedelic swamp rock meets American drone and ambient sounds:
BLACKWOLFGOAT
began in 2010 as the experimental drone project of guitarist Darryl
Shepard (Black Pyramid, The Scimitar, Milligram) as a way to explore
what could be done with just a guitar and no other instrumentation.
Three full lengths have been released thus far, “Dragonwizardsleeve” and
“Drone Maintenance” on Small Stone Records and “Dronolith” on The Maple
Forum and Bilocation. Reviews of BLACKWOLFGOAT have
stated: "Progressive is the name of the game as his music creates a
shifting landscape of fuzzed out guitars/ambient noise. His creative use
of atmosphere is most striking of all" (Heavy Metal Time Machine); and
"Each sonic structure has a distinctly modern and minimalistic texture
established on firm but simple foundations, soon evolving, almost
organically, into towering edifices and labyrinthine complexity" (Sea of
Tranquility). The sound of the first two albums was expanded
upon on “Drone Maintenance” to include some sparse vocals and a drum
machine, and that has continued with the newest single “Straphanger”
which is a very rhythmic track, almost veering into dance music
territory, consisting of only guitars and spoken vocals to create a
haunting and claustrophobic atmosphere of constant movement. BLACKWOLFGOAT is not just a studio project, either, having performed shows alongside bands such as Man's Gin and Totimoshi. And once again, the striking artwork was handled by Alexander von Wieding, who has done all of the previous album covers as well.
LARMAN CLAMOR
is throwing a carnival. More of a street fair, really. You’ll find the
sky is tinted a greenish yellow watercolor, the air is tepid and wet
with humidity, bugs come in swarms, and later, a parade of children on
the backs of reptiles will come out of the swamp and march down the
crossroad.
Blending acoustic and electric guitar, simple drums and
throaty vocals, LARMAN CLAMOR presents an alternate view of tradition and a new
take on its own approach. More and more, there’s nothing else that sounds quite
like it. First Track ‘Drone Monger (Bonk the Stomp)’ is totally different to
the ‘Beetle Crown & Steel Wand’ version – more acoustically, more southern
and is totally cool! Second track on the LARMAN CLAMOR Side ‘ ’ is a previously
unreleased new song and has also a slope to the acoustic: an absolute cool
stomping sweaty song!
