Damin Eih ALK & Brother Clark Never Mind lp

lp
2010/1973

Open a door into utter wrongness with some 12 string acoustic & not-quite-Donovan/Byrds vocals put through phased echo effects. Though not frequent, fuzz is truly unexpected when it arrives & sails in like a boxcutter through a pile of wrapping paper. Record nerds have dug up plenty of weirdness since the last time this was reissued, so you could probably now make an interesting theory or two out of the fact that, say, the unknown Mr. Eih & Michael Yonkers are both from Minneapolis. Eih remains shocking no matter how many oddities you may've heard, however. Mixed by some sort of embalmed mollusk instead of a person with proper hearing. Lyrics take a while to shake out, but they are wrecked like a bathtub batch of PCP. Tracklisting: Tourniquet, Sing a Different Song, Take Off Your Eyes, Soft Margins, Thundermice, Monday Morning Prayer, Gone, Marching Together, Kathryn at Night, Party Hats and Olive Spats, Return Naked.
