It's great to see Pete Kember aka. Sonic Boom aka. Spectrum cropping up a fair bit of late, from production of MGMT & Panda Bear to some great Spectrum releases. (There's a great recent interview here)His last LP was an interesting one ("Indian Giver" under the name "Spectrum meets Captain Memphis" with the late James Luther Dickinson.... subject of future blog) and his live shows were great round that time too. This limited split 7" release (for Record Store Day 2011) contains a glorious extended version of the opening track from that release, "Mary". A tribute to the late great Mary Hansen from Stereolab over 7+ minutes of exquisite Neu!/garage drone.
That track is reason alone to buy this, but the flip is great too. New Yorker Christopher Porpora aka. Cheval Sombre, with Kember on mixing duties, turns in a low key bit of psychedelic folk, promising good things for his forthcoming lp ....
Buy the 7" here
or sample it here before you buy ... Take me to the other side
