Meadow Argus: Arboreal Frippery CDr

Switching to the CDr format for a moment rather than cassette, Meadow Argus continues plundering past memories with Arboreal Frippery. The album’s pieces are based on microcassette recordings from a 2009 hitchhiking trip around the West Coast, and they fold a multitude of strange voices and sounds into endlessly rolling drones, approximating train rides across the country, with memories of some of the more unique characters and situations replaying in one’s head while traveling through pastures. Two tracks collectively take up more than half of the album’s run time, and they both seem to best encapsulate the album’s aura. “Every person contains a universe” loops what sounds like an irritated cow mooing, while “Trainwreck Tunnel” distorts voices to an almost wacky level of graininess. Elsewhere, there’s calmer, harmonium-like wheezing (“Different during the day”, “409”), a jocular backwoods conversation between lovers (“Balloon”), and almost dubby levels of noise and reverb (“Monkey Wrench”).

Bumbo’s Tinto Brass Band: V2 7″ EP (Bumbo Records, 2024)

Bumbo’s Tinto Brass Band: V2 7″ EP

I confused Bumbo with Jimbo Easter. They are not the same person, but Jimbo was on this band’s previous release, and it’s a similar sort of local avant-garage rock. This isn’t quite as unhinged as Jimbo, but it does have a Theremin and an offbeat sort of rawness to it. “The Post Modern Dance” and “Sinkholes and Peepholes” do end up being pretty weird, and “Honey Don’t” changes things up by featuring a spoken word appearance by Asha Vida (though I’m not sure if that’s the same Asha Vida as the Michigan space rock band from the ’90s).
