Label: Avant Archive - AA007CS

カセットファンにはお馴染みのレーベルDigitalisの主宰者Brad RoseとNathan YoungによるデュオAjilvsgaがAvant Archiveに登場。このレーベル発となる2カセットリリース。廃盤になっているカセット&CD-Rからの抜粋で構成されており、過去のAshtray Navigations / Phil Toddを彷彿とさせるザラついたフィードバックノイズが魅力的。

if you’ve been hanging around the tiny experimental voids that have been surfacing in north america over the past five-or-so years, there is some chance that you’ve brushed up against the rolling thunderhead called ajilvsga. the duo’s body of work is massive, and so even though it’s only a glimpse, massacre canyon is nonetheless a necessary document in the evolution of this musical icon.
this soaring double-cassette collects tracks from ajilvsga’s past—some pieces more ephemeral than others, but everything worthy of a second (or tenth) glance. what these selections have in common is only a certain ability to succinctly (as much as one can, given the nature of the music, both in density and in length) define this oklahoman tag-team’s oeuvre: an animal darkness, tainted with imagery both accusatory and mournful.

through their own multitude of sonic approaches, may you find ajilvsga’s essence living in the spaces of massacre canyon. alas, it’s not the end: side d contains 40 minutes of new music. onward!
