ABOUT THE BANDS:

Once the isolationist bedroom-psych project of Matt Lajoie, the intervening years have found Portland Maine's Herbcraft (Woodsist) sprawling out in many different full-band incarnations. Psychedelic, mantric, free-rock music for the mind and body, featuring freewheeling first-take intensity anchored by the unhinged electric guitar work from Lajoie.

Hailing from Vermont, MV & EE (Ecstatic Peace, Three Lobed, etc.) is the ever-expanding and contracting neo-psych lo-fi collective always anchored by Matt Valentine and partner Erika Elder. Since 2000, the duo has released dozens of recordings, ranging from full-on Crazy Horse-infused wailing, to ephemeral soundscapes threatening to dislodge from their earthly tethers. Pitchfork sums it up well: "a Deep South-meets-the-Subcontinent fantasia."

Pigeons' dissonant-yet-pastoral psych-pop makes use of Wednesday Knudsen's seemingly conflicting strengths: her airy, 60s French pop-inflected vocals, and her tenacious shredding on guitar. Buoyed by Clark Griffin on bass and Rob Smith (also of Rhyton), Pigeons can turn on a dime from gauzy Future Games-era Fleetwood Mac to a riffing psychedelic shredfest.

Inhabiting the space between the minimalist avant garde and psych-folk, P.G. Six (Amish Records, Drag City) has assumed a number of configuration over his long career. First surfacing as a member of Memphis Luxure, the band that would become Tower Recordings (along with Matt Valentine), Gubler's output fuses an unlikely range of influences including 60s British folk, country rock, & experimental music.

Rhyton (Thrill Jockey) is a group of experienced sonic voyagers, comprised of David Shuford (a.k.a. D. Charles Speer), Jimy SeiTang (Stygian Stride), and Rob Smith (Pigeons). Their hallucinatory grooves rework ancient forms, instrumentation and scales of Middle Eastern and Greek traditions, and incorporate them into the context of scorching improvised rock.
