Greyhound Out Of Mainline The Cat That Got The Dream (Bandcamp)
First-off, I felt deeply in love with this 10-track album, fulfilled with hypnotic blues and dirty psych-folk elements, which roots seem to be closely bounded up with the American Primitivism movement via angular, minimal-laid guitar chords and a genuine intimacy feeling, though, the project comes from Edinburgh, Scotland, UK. For sure, the issue is getting look high and low, more detailly, veering from the epic blowup of Rembetiko (The Strange Relationship) to murmuring dream-drowned illusions. The side-effects (or instruments) of those description objects are strongly reverb-drenched sonic membranes being often accompanied with concrete music sounds, spoken word snippets and dusty milieu evoking hiss-crackle appearances hovering overhead and everywhere. In any cases, it should not be misunderstood - it is not a kind of GOOM`s shortcoming but the kind of being occurred to come out as the advantage.
