Spool's Gold by Meadow Argus
HV17
cassette
edition of 40
Tynan Krakoff (DNT Records) has been quietly crafting Meadow Argus's warped organ and tape works for several years before beginning in earnest to leak them out to the public-at-large in 2021. "Spool's Gold" picks up where last year's "The Green Light" left off -- warm tape murk and distorted voices crackling through layers of gunky drone and dizzying loops. This is some seriously heady stuff. The A side is comprised of 4 sections, smeared and smudged together into one seamless blend. Failing tape decks and drifting organ tones are punctuated by ominous bursts of CB radio. The 3 sections that make up the B side are equally bleary-eyed, particularly the second section, 'A Swarm of Bees', with its Fangs and Arrows-style looping.
