The Rebels not In [KLP081]

NEWLY REMASTERED AND RE-PRESSED FOR 2021 (SAME OLD REPRESSED FROM 1998) This week in heaven W. Shakespeare and M. Proust are having a no holds bard shoving match to determine who holds the title of literary progenitor of the otherwise completely fresh and original guitar stylings of Doug Martsch (Built to Spill, Treepeople) and the current set of Halo Benders recordings. On this album Doug wails away on guitar and voice, accompanied by Calvin Johnson (also guitar and voice, but with a strong Jackson Pollock influence), Ralf Youtz (playing drums and guitar) and Wayne Flower (bass and drum). Steve Fisk also makes his customary appearance on keyboards, playing on various songs organ, synthesizer, harmonium and theremin. Heather Dunn (Dub Narcotic Sound System) makes a brief guest appearance on guitar. The songs here are golden, the ultimate expression of The Halo Benders' aesthetic, drum guitar vocal weave. The Rebels not in [KLP081] was recorded at Dub Narcotic Studio, Olympia, WA and Avast Studio, Seattle, WA, with Diana Arens and Phil Ek; mixed by Phil Ek.
