On the head
Posted in Recording on 24/04/2012 by chrish
Dead Sea Apes make their second appearance on vinyl with the release of Head Music, a double-LP compilation of krautrock covers on Fruits De Mer records. Our contribution, a rendition of the obscure Kraftwerk number Rückstoss Gondoliere, rounds off side 2.
Found voyaging the vast heavens, Dead Sea Apes’ monolithic re-scripting of Kraftwerk’s Rückstoss Gondeliere perhaps provides the set’s centrepiece. Sounding not unlike some chemically enhanced Spacemen 3 comedown, the Dead Sea Apes craft a deeply sedate cosmic symphony which cyclically shifts from moments of calm to full on wig flipped meltdown between the grooves, applying an awesome display of skull suturing sonics. – Mark Barton, The Sunday Experience / Losing Today

Lupus
Posted in Recording on 28/03/2012 by chrish
Our first full-length release LUPUS is out now on Deep Water. In contrast to Soy Dios and Astral House it’s based more directly on improvisation, with riffs and rhythms emerging over drones, loops and echoing soundscapes. You can read more about it in this interview with Mr. Atavist.
It’s on CD only, packaged in a heavy clear vinyl sleeve with photo-quality printed inserts. We have a small number to sell at gigs but for all mail orders head straight to Deep Water Acres.
Here are some preview tracks
(you can also hear the whole thing on Bandcamp)
Astral House

The long-awaited Astral House EP is finally released. Downloads are available now; CDs can be ordered (and include an immediate download) – the discs will ship in about a week’s time, packaged in natural card sleeves hand-made by ACD/Sleeve with artwork by Vicente.
