HS-002 Stereo, Hello Sunshine Records
HS-002 Stereo, Hello Sunshine Records
limited to 500
"Great limited LP on Jeremy Earl of Woods/Woodsist’s new label. Herbcraft Discovers The Bitter Water Of Agartha is a stunning navigation of druggy Matthew Valentine/Spectrasound styled psychedelic folk, with a thick smoke of F/X masking some fantastic rural rock that at points sounds like a 90s underground take on Skip Spence’s Oar or a Dead bootleg on Majora. Either way this is a solid winner. Edition of 500 copies. Recommended." - David Keenan / Volcanic Tongue
"From the moment this one kicks off it’s obvious we are dealing with some blissed out, bonged to the eyeballs, psych-rock of the highest calibre. Real loose, nicely crafted and suitably drifty in it’s approach ‘Discovers the Bitter Water of Agartha’ is an all out San Francisco style, counter culture aping hippy rock record. Songs are primarily made up of dual acoustic and electric guitar jams accompanied by ghostly boy/girl vocal lullabies/chants with the occasional audible lyric present to prevent the attention span drifting like a puff of smoke into the Woodstock air." -A Norman Records Recommendation [4 June 2010]
