What we say

Rating: ecstatic This record left our Phil feeling ecstatic.

Jack Rose rules. He really does. He's extremely well regarded and seeing as though a lot of music he plays is basically well old sounding I'm amazed he's considered as cool as he is. Charlie Parr does a similar sort of thing to be honest at times and he's nowhere near as cool? I'm a total sucker though and I love a bit of Jack. Only just found out about an album he did earlier on this year which I missed. Bollocks... here's a split 7" with him and Silvester Anfang. Rose covers a Fahey song and another song by S Mcgee (I'll show my ignorance by not knowing who he is... maybe he/she is related to Paul Daniels wife Debbie Mcgee??). Jack plays a mighty fine guitar.... this is some proper wonky sounding early Bluegrass/ Americana to rock your socks off. The flipside is Silvester Anfang doing some weird disturbed evil cult sounding shit. Proper goat murdering, killing virgins and eating raw hamsters gear. Atmospheric and dark.... man this is a good single...

What the label says:

Great split by the always genius American Primitive guitarist Jack Rose. He covers Fahey’s ‘How Green Was My Valley’ and Sam McGee’s ‘Buckdancer’s Choice’ as if each of his fingers had their own little set of wings. B-side occupants Silvester Anfang are a Belgian fee-freak-folk combo with an open membership policy and a sound that suggests they have a good supply of smoke. Heard together, this is pretty stunning. Limited to 250 copies

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.
