Cardinal Fuzz/Feeding Tube Records in collaboration with Deep Water Acres and in tribute to Sunrise Ocean Bender Records bring to you:
Elkhorn
--
Other Worlds
.
Drew Gardner
and
Jesse Sheppard
, the two-guitar duo of Elkhorn, share a musical brotherhood that spans several decades. From their nascent high school socialist-realist post-punk band
Mayfirst
, to teenage scavenger trips to the Princeton Record Exchange and City Gardens, the two came of age goofing along to the
Dead Kennedys
, the
Butthole Surfers
, and
Sonic Youth
in the dank Jersey/Philly-scene music holes. Elkhorn has long traversed the valleys between fried cosmic psychedelia and American Primitive, particularly the latter style's reverence for a wide range of folk and blues idioms ranging from County Records compilations to the
Mississippi Sheiks
. While the pair is best known for their acoustic guitar explorations,
Other Worlds
continues their recent experiments with other instrumental possibilities. For instance, on the previous Elkhorn release
On the Whole Universe in All Directions
, Drew switched to vibraphone and drums, with Jesse playing 12-string guitar.
Other Worlds
, on the other hand, finds them in a recognizable "rock trio" format (in improvisational mode) -- Drew is on electric guitar, with Jesse playing bass, and they are again joined by
Ian McColm
on drums, with the free-flowing groove he brings. On the opening track "Watching the Skies" you can feel the forward propulsion this power trio sets up, a cosmic widescreen which Elkhorn proceed to rock and groove across the whole of
Other Worlds
. Three flawless musicians in their own right, together they form a telepathic psychic link that taps into the otherworldly flow that is
Other Worlds
, as the synergy created by Jesse and Ian leaves Drew plenty of space to take off on exhilarating and soaring flights of fuzzy haze fire that results in a musical journey toward transcendence. Elkhorn demonstrate again and again that there is no height they won't scale, no direction they won't travel. Have Elkhorn ever sounded as heavy or as on fire as the recordings laid down here? You be the judge. The trio is multitudes. The trio is one.
