In April 2011 Full of Nothing proudly presented an original Russian tour of 3 projects from different pockets of the world: Woodpecker Wooliams, UK femme-folk experimentalist; Golden Cup, Italian psychedelic guru, 8mm Records boss and ex-Jooklo member and Love Cult, label’s very own hypnotic family duo. The company played unforgettable shows in Moscow, Saransk and Saint Petersburg, as well as continued to The Baltics. This release captures the unexpected collective improvisations from Saransk and Saint Petersburg. Wild, ecstatic weirdo soundscapes relying solely on intuition, sensation, culture shock and friendship. Sonic celebration of the new and strange, sleeper trains, Russian soul and maybe vodka.
White cassettes in soft cases with full-colour J-cards filled with photos by Gemma Williams. Edition of 100.
В апреле 2011 Full of Nothing с гордостью представил оригинальный русский тур 3 проектов из разных уголков мира: Woodpecker Wooliams, английской арфистки и фолк-экспериментатора; Golden Cup, итальянского психоделик-гуру, шефа 8mm Records и экс-участника культовых Jooklo; а также Love Cult, гипнотического семейного дуэта. Компания сыграла концерты в Москве, Саранске и Санкт-Петербурге, а также продолжила приключение в Прибалтике. Данное издание содержит незапланированные коллективные импровизации из Саранска и Питера. Диковатые, экстатичные спонтанные композиции, опирающиеся исключительно на интуицию, восприятие, культурный шок и дружбу. Аудио-церемония восхваляющая новое и странное, спальные вагоны, русскую душу, и, может быть, водку.
Белые кассеты с полноцветными фотографиями Джеммы Уильямс в мягких коробках. Тираж 100 копий.
Nary a single sound dominates, as balance is remarkably tight and controlled. Field recordings evoke eerie forests of ancient histories; electronic squeals and drones add texture, tonal dynamics, and movement to both compositions. We travel with the performers and are taken on a journey we won’t soon forget. The only question left to ask is, are there recordings from the rest of the tour?
…it’s like CVLTS birthed a chosen one with a mind full of choppy ambitions and liquid courage, a.k.a. FUCKING ROWDY. So many of these tapists don’t understand, but when they do, and there’s nearly a half-hour to stretch out in, it’s one of life’s great pleasures.
It’s almost as if the sounds of the natural world are being forced into the same space as sounds from an office building interior. They are mushed together to form a singular plane of sound. The typing and printing noises are eventually overblown by sounds that provide the images of dry grasses blowing, swing sets that could use oiling and the calls of summer birds. It is quite a victory.
