aspidistrafly

Ricks and April got their new site up. "Inspired by spring," according to them.

i hold a wish for you didn't do it for me as much as The Ghosts Of Things EP but I love what they do: subliminally quiet passages of sound. They will be doing a Japan tour soon for their Japanese distributer, Schole Records. Going to Japan. Woot. That's nice. Wish I were there again.

April takes very nice pictures as well. I think there's a link there.



The above video 'red toe nails' is from The Ghosts Of Things EP. It's beautiful. I had a weird ass moment once when I had the EP on loop. I was drunk going home from Zouk in a cab. When I woke up to pay the cab driver, the song was playing in the background. Suddenly, I was swept away with an overwhelming sense of beauty and sadness. I think being drunk helped as well.

If you like their stuff, you might wanna check out You And Whose Army?'s James' side project with his girlfriend Melissa. Issa's like aspidistrafly with lesser reverb and more traditionally constructed tunes. Check them out here. I like their stuff a lot too.
