SHADOW RING, THE
Title:
Lighthouse
Label:
SWILL RADIO
Format:
2LP
Price:
$15.00
Catalog #:
SWILL 017LP
First album in a while from the UK-centered group (previous documentation via their own Dry Leaf label, Corpus Hermeticum & Siltreeze). Assisting the core members (Lambkin, Harris, Goss) on this recording (from '97-'98) are the following Americans: Adris Hoyos, Karla Borecky & Scott Foust (Idea Fire Co.). "To enter the world of the Shadow Ring is to enter a surreal anti-world of bizarre song structure.
Lighthouse
will rank with
Trout Mask Replica
and
Tago Mago
as both one of the most avant garde and the most eccentric double LP's of all time. Unlike those two records,
Lighthouse
features no instrumental pyrotechnics, instead relying on odd sonic combinations, startling lyrics, and a very painterly use of minimal studio technology. Absolutely essential listening if you are interested in modernist stretching of song form with extraordinary results."

Title:
I'm Some Songs
Label:
SWILL RADIO
Format:
LP
Price:
$14.00
Catalog #:
SWILL 023LP
"Posthumous final LP recorded in 2002 that completed the 10 year life cycle of The Shadow Ring. This LP was recorded in Poughkeepsie NY over a 3 week period. The atmosphere is tense and stoned. A depressing joke -- one punchline after another.
I'm Some Songs
was recorded by Darren Harris, Graham Lambkin and Tim Goss -- a record which pays its own tribute to its own fallen heroes."
