Now Playing... What are you Listening to Right Now?

I was thinking about the 2x7" format. This EP came out in a Swedish and an English version, plus a double 7" that includes both.

Listening with my 5yo. He was digging it right up to the guitars and screaming. "Too loud! And weird!"

Sounds like an old pump organ in the intro. Growing up, my mom had a broken down pump organ from the late 1800's in her piano teaching studio. It had only one working bellow and was mostly a decoration but I played it a lot. Kinda love that crusty reed organ sound. I'm pretty sure Soul Coughing used it on this track too. It also features a fuzzed out upright bass which is my shiiiit.

That Soul Coughing track is GREAT. I own Ruby Vroom by accident and have never really had a proper listen to it but that's really making me want to revisit them.

forgot about this soul coughing song, it's lit. never noticed that it was fuzz upright bass, nice call.

just started listening to black sabbath's first album, far as i can tell that's the first "metal" album, super dope.

cool band. Started listening to them after hearing that Tyler Bryant was the husband of Larkin Poe singer, and he cowrote some of their music. So had to give them a try. Only recently did I find out that the other guitar player is Brad Whitford’s son!

I knew he had done some stuff with Larkin Poe, didn't know he was married to one of the sisters, actually stumbled across him before I found Larkin Poe.

I hear you! I would say something like Saxophone Colossus, My Favorite Things or Kind of Blue might be better cooking music than this though!

I'm typically not someone who gravitates towards "Free"/Avant Garde jazz. It's usually too out there for me. And make no mistake: 99% of the time on Spiritual Unity, Ayler is fucking OUT there. It's a bit spooky at times and his vibrato is crazy but there is a sing-song-y, nursery rhyme style feel to a lot of the intros and as far out as he goes, he tends to steer clear of "sheets of sound" style improvisations for something a little more rooted in a searching, spiritual type thing.

I mentioned to @Harry Klippton one time that this is an album (and artist) that by all accounts I have no business even enjoying but it grabs me for some reason, which is likely a testament to how inspired and committed and real Ayler is on the recording. It doesn't sound like a jazz sax player playing at the avant-garde, but rather like a guy really laying it all on the line in the truest fashion.

Here's the whole playlist:

I was listening to the album earlier today. So intense and captivating. Definitely requires your full attention.
