Pocahaunted – Emerald Snake On Ruby Velvet 3″ CDR

NNF096

 

Here’s the deal: despite all hoopla/wrath/rapture fixated on Pocahaunted’s feather headdress mythos, their true vocal and musical reality draws equally from such non-native locales like the Staples Center (hi-tops) and the Nature Mart (gluten-free raw-volutions). And this is key/crucial to keep in mind when meditating on the street beats and dub futurism of Emerald Snake On Ruby Velvet, the Eagle Rockers most recent reverb guitar mantra. A recent set staple and a water-testing foray into the echo chamber percussion of Pocahaunted’s impending world/trance/dub-inspired LP on Arbor, Emerald Snake… coils in concentric circles of voice-wave wash-out and upsetter drone stutter, buoyed by Bobb Bruno’s drum pad path-finding. Mystic-eye-stamped discs in cases with hand-cut covers embroidered with swatches of dyed snakeskin, in a hand-numbered edition of 99.
