Graveyards - Fryday Night At The Hideout

Tapeworm Tapes, C-22
2007, 320 kbps, 49MB

Kinda quiet, tense, sober but still freaky…morse code from another dimension. Vague and then done.
- Cassette Gods

this tape delivers that aggressive sound that ppl have practically been begging Graveyards for since they formed. Graveyards records are typically shadowy affairs, and they never overwhelm in the way that we'd expect from their lineup. Not that this is a bad thing, it just something I've heard frequently when Graveyards come up. So here, enjoy the room filling sounds you've been pining for...

Graveyards - Mondrian, But With Razor Blades

Brokenresearch, 3" CD-R
2006, 320 kbps, 21MB

A stripped down Graveyards in full-frontal drums/sax duo oblivion mode. Some of Olson's most pyrotechnic re-thinks of the post-AACM stream of instant thought pared with some emphatically opaque drum terror from Ben Hall.

Graveyards - Can I Take Medications If I Am Straight Edge?/Tales From The Unhealer

Audiobot, CD-R
2007, 192 kbps, 57MB

"This is a two-track (obviously) CD-R culled from a couple of live performances, and has to be the absolute peak of the trio's obsession with slow-paced, vacant, tense, silence-driven sparring sessions to date. At least the first eight minutes of "Can I Take Medications If I Am Straight Edge?" are dedicated to near-nothingless, with Buetow's shrill bowing and Hall's cymbal shaving only occasionally cutting through the hiss of the recording device. Slowly but surely the gears start moving and all three move in step for brief glimmers, relaxing back into their chairs as soon as you think something's about to erupt. They played with this trick a few times when I saw them before giving in to the urge and playing it balls-to-the-wall fire music rampage style, but the payoff never really comes here. Instead they stick to quick sprints throughout the near 25-minutes, weaving tension and release in and out of the other too quickly to ever really feel one emotion over the other. "Tales from the Unhealer" is a sludgier sound and the trio sound more on edge, opting for louder, more rambunctious moves than the previous session allowed. In fact, they spend a good bunch of the minutes here firing on all cyllinders, with only brief pauses to regroup before charging headfirst once again. It's actually two pieces in one, as applause breaks the set up halfway through the 20-minute track and they have another go, with Olson spewing ear-splitting sax noise to Buetow's groans, only to be joined by Hall in a final send-off which sees the three approaching the ecstatic, brash, Last Exit vernacular they sometimes so conscienciously avoid. The impact would've been all the more greater if the quality was better, but what're you gonna do."

Graveyards - John Brown, On His Way To The Scaffold

Brokenresearch, CD-R
2006, 320 kbps, 35MB

"American gothic free jazz from the always spine-thrilling Graveyards trio Funereal dooms of percussion, slow tongues of rusty lung and rough-ass rope burns combine in a mud-caked processional straight through the darkest aspects of old American topography. Highly recommended."
