You can now listen to pretty much all of the latest album from Dustdevil & Crow on the Free Music Archive. Dustdevil, if you didn’t know, is Michael Duane of the no-wave DustDevils and numerous other projects – Atlantic Drone, some others. (he’s also youngmosstongue.blogspot.com … and knows pretty much everything there is to know about punk, post-punk and 1960s-1990s experimental music.)
Crow is Bendle of the late 1970s experimental band The Door and the Window (and, again, other projects).
The music is quite beautiful, mysterious, dream-like, with overlapping vocals and warped effects, so that you feel like you’re moving through water or fog or sheets of very thin cloth. There’s not actually that much guitar on it, though some It reminded me a little bit of Current 93 at first, but now I’m not sure that’s right at all.
Anyway, here’s “Moss”
IF you want more, go to www.freemusicarchive.org and search for Dustdevil (or Crow if you want to sift through a lot of extra stuff).

very kind of you Jen...
My pleasure, thanks for the music.
I see what you mean about Current 93, but it sounds much different. It sounds like some form of psychic agony concocted by John Fahey and Kenneth Anger (with a little Jandek?). Not that that's a bad thing cos I can't say I stopped listening to it. I'll be back there for more.
John Fahay!... i'm 'aving that!!!... thanks...
That's actually an interesting comparison, Fahey, and I'm assuming you mean the later, noiser stuff? And, of course, it's pretty much guaranteed to make a guitar player happy to be compared to Fahey, isn't it?
know, you KNOW i'm waiting for the Sonny Sharrock comparison...
I always think of Michael as Sonny Sharrock meets Shin Jung Hyun ;^)
