Mark
McDowell and Octopus Syng go head to head on a split single of
neo-psych. Limited 7” colour vinyl pressing with free poster.
The Regal Crabomophone
record label is an offshoot of Fruits De Records which specialises in
original material.
Mark McDowell is a
Breton shirted, modern-day minstrel with an impressive line in soft
baroque psych-pop. His track on this single, entitled Girls Of
Belvoir, tells of 17th century witchcraft at a castle in
Leicestershire. You don't get that on X-Factor! Folksy and enchanting
but with a slightly sinister edge, it's Witchfinder General scored by
Vaughan Williams, unsettling and very English.
Finland's Octopus Syng
grace the flipside with their eight minute opus Listen With The
Moths. Similarly disturbing yet with more of an acid-folk feel, the
track builds with its simple guitar motif and drum rolls joined by
breathy in-your-ear vocals. The track grows and swells up to its
guitar solo climax. “Listen with moths, to take you back home”
they sing over and over. Whether this is the best or worst advice for
surviving an LSD trip I can't tell you, but it works well enough
while drinking a cup of tea.
