Davenport Family – At The Foot Of Zodiac Mountain – Cassette C70 One Sided

Ultra limited release from the Davenport Family, the extended lineup of free folkers Davenport, released on the Meudiademorte label. This is a single 35 minute jam, and it is a monster, sure there’s the usual, clattery percussion, distant folky jangle, shimmery ambience, but shit here gets way more fierce and scary. Some massive slow motion stripped down folk doom. Epic sludgy rhythms, a plodding crashing thud, demarcating a harsh landscape of wild tribal drumming, strange echoe-y vocals, streaks of guitar feedback, like some krautrock free folk doom metal Taj Mahal Travellers or something. Everything blown out and abstract, hung loosely around a relentless rhythmic death march, trawling through dense clouds of damaged fx, dubbed out drums, clattery percussion and huge bassy throbs. Tribal and primitive, spacey and majestic, pounding and surprisingly brutal for a bunch of hippy free folk misfits. Awesome!!” Aquarius Records
