Here's a date for the diary! If "Kernow Beat! Vol.1" was the mission statement from the rebranded Cornish Psych Society, then "Vol.2" is the eclectic collective flexing its muscles.
Leading the aural assault are psych stunners “The Heavenly Bodes” (from Fuzz Club Records). They’re joined by “Low Harness” & “Thin Walls” (both on Krautpop!), Das Sach!” & “Love Fortress” (ones to watch). Closing Side A is psych-folk sensation “Daisy Rickman” with an ode to the sun.
“2:19 Special” open Side B with a track from their recently released “Happy Fly” EP (on Krautpop!), followed by “Kex” - a supergroup comprising half of “Low Harness” & half of “Holiday Ghosts”. The elusive “Rick Maver” offers a gem of a track as does the equally intangible “The Vile Grass”. The album closes with a beautiful electronic instrumental by Plood (whose debut EP is on Klangpop!)
All in all, this is a fantastic must-have compilation of tracks by a myriad of talents from the beating heart of Kernow!
The Record Release Show will take place on Thursday 3rd December at Dynamite Valley Taproom (Grays Wharf) AND The Fish Factory in Penryn, Cornwall, UK! More details about exactly who is playing where and when will be announced during the next few weeks. The event is FREE ENTRY and the Krautpop! stall will be nestled inside The Fish Factory.
