ANARCHIC BREEZES (VINYL)

Grim Tower is the collaborative project of ? Stephen McBean (vocals/guitar/synths) and ? Imaad Wasif (vocals/guitar). The album, called ? Anarchic Breezes, was written around the ? central idea of a New Acoustic Death Folk, yet ?could be heard as equal parts Harry Smith and Harry Pussy. ? Both songwriters, Canadians now based in Los Angeles, come together on Anarchic Breezes to ?explore a mutual interest in the darker traditions of song and detuning found in the American Primitive ?Archives. The album features the ancillary rhythm section of Rob Barbato (bass) and Dan Allaire ?(drums), also L.A. musicians with roots deep in the modern psych movement. Anarchic Breezes was ?recorded by S. McBean at his home studio, with additional recording by Rob Campanella at the ?Jonestown Studios. It contains 9 originals and 1 cover, the obscure Leaving My Old Life Behind by ?Jonathan Halper as featured in Kenneth Anger's Puce Moment. It was mixed by Mark Nevers (Will ?Oldham, Silver Jews, Calexico, Vic Chesnutt) at Beech House Studios in Nashville. The two voices on ?this album serve as mediums to a yet unheard music. Let the free ride the breeze.??Tracklisting: ? 1) Soft Seance 2) Reign Down 3) Orpheus Light 4) Mantis 5) All The Beautiful Things 6) Anarchic Breezes?7) Let Death Become Your Comfort 8) Blue 9) Leaving My Old Life Behind 10) Hang Me In Heaven
