Meadow Argus: Spool’s Gold tape
The
latest Meadow Argus tape appears on the mighty Hooker Vision, and it’s another set of uneasy, nostalgic loop pieces. There’s a faint rhythm pulsing beneath the beginning of the first side, but that gets flattened out as something stuck in the tape deck curdles away and a sharp CB radio voice cuts through the murk for a moment. It comes back after the organ begins glimmering brighter, but it signals a shift into a more jumbled state, almost like jumping into a tornado for a minute. Later on there’s more aggressive CB radio chatter, especially on the second side, where the voices are played backwards, turning into an even rougher textural element. The hissing tape drone turns more seasick, but after a while it sort of melts into a comforting blanket of sound.
