Stone Clubber, friend, dj, artist and author Justin Robertson fresh from the success of his Five Green Moons project has joined forces with composer and Stone Club co-founder Matthew Shaw on their tribute to mythical band MineralTail. An 11 track cosmic trip through krautrock, weird ambience and loose-limbed grooves that accompanies the story contained in Justin’s new novel of the same name. Expect hypnotic electronics and ritualistic rhythms, swirling melodies and glorious riffs.
‘Critics agree that the greatest album ever recorded is the self-titled debut by the MineralTail. Recorded after the extinction of humanity by the combination of a Megalithic stone and two dogs, the record remains peerless in its ingenuity, passion and inventiveness. An album that consistently remains at the top of all rankings and charts. Though all such accolades are meaningless, nonetheless its enduring appeal is obvious. Here, at last is the first reliable account of how that record was made. The recording techniques, the creative disputes, the true source of the sound. It is a story of sublime inspiration, skulduggery, time travel, beauty and conflict. But most importantly it is the story of music itself. Because held within the grooves of the MineralTail’s breathtaking debut is the voice of God’s most dazzling accident. Music.’
June 1997, the rollrights were up for sale….
A reminder that we will be in Ashburton at Field System on May 1st for an evening of folk and merry making with Craven. We also have an exhibition running there from May 1st-May 23rd.
Tickets for the Craven gig can be found here.
We put together this mix for the recently launched and very epic Brewing Folk Radio.
This month’s book of the month is Things We Found In The Ground.
We have long been fans of @romanfound on Instagram, the go to place for budding detectorists! Things We Found In The Ground follows founders of Roman Found, detectorist cousins Ellie and Lucie on their explorations into the landscape and beneath the ground. A wonderful journey of friendship and discovery, we defy anyone to read this and not want to get their coil to the soil!
It comes out on Harper Collins on April 9th!
See you all soon with more updates from the land of granite.
