The Bark Haze gets Important
January 27, 2007

On February27th Important Records will release a CD and an entirely different LP (both untitled) from The Bark Haze:
"The Bark Haze is primarily a guitar duo of GOWN (nom de plume of one Andrew Macgregor) and Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth tfuckingcetera). Auxiliary members have been know to include Pete Nolan (Magik Markers, Virgin Eye Blood Brothers, Cops et al). Their name came from a mis-hearing of the radical early 70s R+B group the Bar-Kays and from that moment the concept of mis-hearing and allegiance to presenting the mis-hearing as some open-ended musical course became The Bark Haze's identity. So far all concerts have taken place in Western Massachusetts and once in the confines of Cambridge, MA's Twisted Village record emporium. They anxiously await their debut gig in the UK at the Nightmare Before Christmas event curated by Moore. As the heroic and potentially bonkers Carpenters refrained We've Only just Begun.Damn straight."



Moshe

exellent. thanks once again moshe.

The CD is called "Total Joke Era" and it contains two live tracks (running 35 min) recorded in Northampton, Ma September 2006.

In case anyone's wondering, like I was, Important Records don't have either the CD or the vinyl available for pre-order.

They said, when I asked:

We've got about 1/2 of the titles from the next new batch of new releases here so we're not making them available until they're all here. It should be in the next 1-2 weeks. No need to pre-order Bark Haze. We'll definitely have enough for mailorder.

Both CD and LP are available now!

You beat me to it!

Me too. I want that sexy black/white vinyl!

For those of you who have seen them play live, what should we expect soundwise? Fey pseudo folk? noise-acoustic? grating sheer blasphemy?

Give me a few minutes, Tesla69, and I'll post a yousendit link for you, with their ATP performance on it.


EDIT - The link is in sonic sharing.

Sonicl, thanks for that link, but I'm at a work pc so I can't access it, I was just looking for a few words that might pigeonhole this project;-)

They play in NYC a couple weeks but its the same night as Test plays, its a tough choice.

EDIT: nevermind, friends, I see there's MP3's at the Important site...oh yeah this IS sweetstuff...

yeah that performance was utterly amazing. i listen to it quite a lot. its good for getting up to in the morning.

ordered my copy!
can't wait to hear this, one of my favourite of all sonic side projects!

ordered mine!

i wish they would venture out of the northeast and tour or something.

I have that sexy black/white vinyl in my hands right now (well, actually it's sat next to me - if it was in my hands I wouldn't be able to type this).

Nice picture of Thurston in the CD booklet too.

so do you like it?

can't wait for my copy.

mine arrived today and i got the black/white vinyl just need a record player now

is Ecstatic Peace gonna get an allotment of the bark haze stuff?, or are they planing to release a different bark haze CD or LP?

fuck Bark Haze, we need an Alien Heat LP!

so how do the CD and LP sound?

I'll let you know about the CD tomorrow. I won't have time to listen to the vinyl until the weekend.
