Goosewind - Miracle Of Tape - Music & Performance - CD

The only constant in the Goosewind universe, from their first recordings on Shrimper more than thirty years ago, to the winding spool that is their latest full-length record The Miracle of Tape, is the musical universe that belongs to them, and them only. Like Prince, Beefheart or maybe Rudolph Grey, their music is unique not just because it escapes the tether of genre, but because it is imbued with so many of them without becoming a slop bowl of mushy peas and carrots. The follow-up to Grateful 4 The Times We Share cassette-only release on Shrimper from 2022 veers even further out into the ether with songs landing in between pirate radio commercials cooked up by Rick Goosewind and Melody Kriesel. A fool would try to describe the myriad of sound caught on magnetic tape purchased from a Sonic Youth garage sale, so let us go with that truth and state that this record is exactly what one might think would land on those analog reels. No digital trickery here man, the masters are painting with rocks, minerals, earth, and bone on an 8-track capturing breath in real time.
