City Paper – Ehse (On Ice) Article

Posted by Ian_Cassidy | Filed under Events

"Given a passing glance, the only thing that noise music and ice skating have in common is a capability for hurting. Looking a little closer, you might be able to pry out a shared thread of absurdity; if ice skating’s ridiculousness is a bit less outward for being on TV and in the Olympics and such, remember that it’s still people zooming around sheets of ice with sharp strips of metal attached to their feet. Which is silly. Within noise music, ice skating makes perfect sense because it’s noise, and nothing doesn’t make sense in noise: a toy keyboard or grand piano; a broken-glass feedback loop or six saxophones and a timpani; a disgusting black mold-filled basement and band called Black Mold or a stage in a Mount Vernon theater with a legend flown in from the other side of the planet. Or noise might happen on an ice rink in far Northeast Baltimore, as is the case this weekend when Ehse Records’ occasional party/show/event Ehse on Ice returns for a new edition." - Michael Byrne, City Paper - 2/20/12 Read the entire article here.

Salamander Wool – “A Portal To The Ancient World”

Posted by Ian_Cassidy | Filed under Reviews, Salamander Wool

A sweet write up about Carson's song "Reptile" via Washington City Paper. "As Salamander Wool, Baltimore experimental musician Carson Garhart has created a portal to the ancient world, and the Washington Monument is ground zero. That's the general idea behind "Reptile," a woozy, warped track off Garhart's new album, Solar Solipsis. It's the second album from Salamander Wool—Garhart began using the name five years ago—and it collects songs dating back to 2000 that reflect the energy of the sun." - Leor Galil, Washington City Paper 2/16/12 Check out the full article HERE Stream, download or purchase Solar Solipsis

Angels In America – “Narrow Road To The Interior” FMA Review

Posted by Ian_Cassidy | Filed under Angels In America, Reviews

Angels in America's "Narrow Road To The Interior" was given a 10/10 from Free Music Archive! "Each track is a different ember in the fire and burns with a poetic narrative that mixes the abstract with the concrete, providing an etching to navigate your own soul search with. All the tracks are most compelling and completely disorienting - in a mysterious walk in the woods / harrowing tale, sort of way, with myriad listens --and Angels in America will hypnotize you in to making this part of your daily ritual -- you drift further into your own spiritual mindset, search through the ashes and get a little closer towards the actual Meaning of Life. For in this utterly, utterly beautiful swirl-away, it is obvious, Merv & Moppy already know it. If you haven't purchused their LP yet -- I think you should. This is going to be a collectors item in a few years." Read the entire article here. Stream, download, or purchase "Narrow Road To The Interior"

Secret Secrets – City Paper Review

Posted by Ian_Cassidy | Filed under Secret Secrets

"Why is it that psych-rock musicians prize the improvised jam as the secret key to opening the third eye wide, but it sometimes seems improvisers are supposed to be more concerned with cerebral ear expansion than trippy mind-blow? Not that one can necessarily outright ascribe the latter motives to Secret Secrets. But listening to Baltimore’s own Shana Palmer and Melissa Moore’s new recording on Baltimore’s own Ehse Records, one imagines them moving full-speed forward down some middle path between trippin’-balls sonic triggers and more rigorous/conscious duo improvisation." - Lee Gardner, City Paper 10/26/11 Read the entire article here!
