about
Live recording from The Myrrors' appearance at one of the first Fuzz Club Festivals held in London, 2015. This show was one of the final dates of a two-month tour traversing almost the entire European continent, and although there is perhaps some weariness to be heard in these grooves, it is also one of the best-recorded samples of this era of the band. Most of the material comes from the then-just-released "Arena Negra" album, though fan-favorite "Warpainting" gets a radical reworking behind several otherwise-unrecorded instrumentals and improvisations. This was without a doubt the most guitar-heavy lineup of the band, and one can hear shades of everything from Trad Gras och Stenar to White Heaven in the twisted interplay of Nik Rayne and Connor Gallaher's strings (as a side note this combination is also on good display in their sporadic side-project, Curved Entrances).
Following this tour the band underwent a sonic shakeup and begin to push their sound even further towards the cracked, cyclical jazz and minimalist textures of 2016's (arguably transitional) Entranced Earth and 2017's entirely guitarless Hasta La Victoria.
From Picadilly Records:
"Back in 2015 Arizona-based desert drone outfit The Myrrors were invited to perform at the Fuzz Club Festivala London festival hosted by Fuzz Club Records and local promoters Bad Vibrations. Taking their otherworldly 'Sonoran trance music' to the stage of London Fields Brewhouse, The Myrrors unleashed a breathtakingly transcendental and all-consuming performance that across its three 'parts' – rarely deviating from the solitary note held throughout the set – spectacularly joined the dots between everything from classical minimalism and drone music, through to psychedelic rock, desert blues, Eastern folk and free jazz; perhaps the sort of music La Monte Young might have made if he tuned his mystical drone meditations towards rockier territory and swapped the artsy NYC avant-garde scene for the Sonoran desert that The Myrrors call home. Some four years on from that now-mythologised show and Fuzz Club, having sat impatiently on the live audio for years, will finally be releasing the performance on vinyl and digital for all to immerse themselves in."

An almost perfect album. A long, slow journey from here to way beyond, relentless and beautiful.

Really interesting flavors in a soundscapes of this album. An album that doesn't wear out by listening. You always find interesting new details in a rich texture of instruments. I have never been a big fan of sax but this album may change my opinions. Really surprising mix of traditional blue grass instruments but yet really exotic atmospheres. Definitely worth of listening.
