Artist:	BARDO POND/TOM CARTER
Title:
Label:	3LOBED
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.50
Catalog #:	3LOBED 012CD

"Early 2003 saw Tom Carter performing a string of shows on the east cost, including a stop in Philadelphia at the Tritone where he joined Bardo Pond on stage and play a quiet, subdued set. While this group of the musicians had known each other for a while, they had never formally collaborated before on the stage or in the studio. On April 23 all of the players convened at the Pond's Lemur House studio in an effort to prepare for the show. Those preparations were done with the tape running and the results stunned everyone involved -- while there were expectations that things would work out nicely, the resulting free-flowing and complex improvisations were beyond anyone's imagination. Carter's signature guitar styling acted as the perfect accompaniment to the Bardo Pond sound, together with their performances creating a fully-formed collection of songs."

Artist:	BARDO POND
Title:	Cypher Documents I
Label:	3LOBED
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.50
Catalog #:	3LOBED 013CD

"Over their recording career, Bardo Pond has released countless tracks that have appeared only on singles, compilations or other formats. This material has frequently stood equal in stature to the band's densely sprawling full-length albums. In an effort to start compiling this hard-to-find material, both the band and Three Lobed Recordings are proud to announce the debut of the Cypher Documents series. The first installment in this ongoing series compiles seven studio tracks that have never before been released on conventional media. The tracks themselves take the listener to many different places -- be it the aggressive and sludge-guitar attack of 'Slag,' the sparse tones of 'Quiet Tristin,' or the extended psych exploration of the thirteen minute epic 'Black Turban.' Closing out the disc is 'From The Sky,' an exclusive and extended thirty-one minute psych-rock epic. This track is appearing on this disc for the first time anywhere in any form -- it is the expanded session that the original five minute MP3 'In The Sky' came from. While not originally designed to be released together as a single album, the time span over which they were recorded makes the seven tracks on Cypher Documents I possess a definite cohesive flow. As presented, this disc acts as a sort of 'lost' album that displays exactly how the band sounded in the meantime between the release of Set and Setting and 2001's Dilate."

Artist:	WOODEN WAND AND THE VANISHING VOICE
Title:	L'un Marquer Contre la Moissonneuse
Label:	3LOBED
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.50
Catalog #:	3LOBED 014CD

"Over the course of their recording career, Wooden Wand And The Vanishing Voice have proven to be a multi-faceted and difficult to define. They have successfully allowed the body of their work to be cryptic, proto-spiritual, emotionally bare, brashly exuberant and, throughout it all, completely entrancing. Their discography, which contains numerous cassettes, CDRs and a little bit of vinyl -- all of which display their twisted and droning take on psychedelic folk -- has been constantly evolving and has seen each of their superb releases build upon the strengths of its immediate predecessor. L'un Marquer Contre la Moissonneuse is an exploration of the goodness inherent in the human heart and how that decency can help transform the world into a better place. Sound grandiose? Well, revolutions do begin with ambition. Long-held beliefs state that every morning that one rises from bed they have cheated Death once more through the grace of God. Through the extension of this theme, every good deed a person performs during those waking hours may very likely stand as a mark against the Reaper on the great cosmic score sheet. Wooden Wand And The Vanishing Voice have collected these four tracks recorded in various locations over the fall of 2004 to act as a sonic testament to this principal."

Artist:	DAVENPORT
Title:	Rabbit's Food Propeller
Label:	3LOBED
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.50
Catalog #:	3LOBED 015CD

"The extended Davenport family has been producing their unique flavor of free-form and exultant improvisational folk since 2001. Operating out of Madison, Wisconsin, their music has taken on an open joviality that reflects the spirit of their hometown and the natural world that resides just outside its borders. Respectful and observant of all things natural, Davenport has focused on their organic sound over a long string of CDR and cassette releases for a number of different labels. Rabbit's Foot Propeller is simultaneously a natural extension of their prior work and a confident step into a new and different direction. Taken as a whole or as its component tracks, the album is a solid continuation of the Davenport aim to bring light into all dark corners. Rabbit's Foot Propeller is all about the juxtaposition of varying sounds and musical textures against one another. Over the course of the album's thirteen tracks the listener is presented with numerous playful improvisations, tones generated from various instruments and lilting melodies (both guitar and vocal)."
