"Each artist tackles a song by the other. A familiar enough tale you may think, but these songs fall into each other in a more pleasing manner than most, creating a lyrically and musically complementary whole. Two refracted visions of the landscapes of memory and the magical characters that inhabit them. James Jackson Toth, known to the world as Wooden Wand, is a maverick, good-hearted troubadour whose blend of smoky Americana has been garnering plaudits for the last decade. Growing up in the English suburbs, Owen Tromans led John Peel favourites San Lorenzo before following a solo path that has seen him release several acclaimed albums and tour extensively, playing with the likes of Brian Jonestown Massacre, Idlewild and Plush."

Artist:	SAVAGING SPIRES
Title:	Savaging Spires
Label:	CRITICAL HEIGHTS (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.50
Catalog #:	CRITTER 003CD

"This eponymous debut from Savaging Spires has 'cult hit' written through it like a stick of Blackpool Rock. Broadly split between standalone songs and sound-collaging passages, the ensemble glide seamlessly through the pagan eeriness of The Wicker Man soundtrack, Espers' druggy bucolic edginess, the underrated invention of Tyrannosaurus Rex's Unicorn and the affectionate irreverence of Can's Ethnological Forgery Series pieces."
