Night Watch
Sunday March 18th, 2018 with Dav Fot
Godspeed You! Black Emperor!! Rhyton!!

A Generally General show. No grand features, a few small ones, but just meandering the musical landscape. Not a bad way to go on a Sunday night.
Start out with a few tracks from the second-to-latest Godspeed LP. It's new to me, so we'll call it a micro-feature.
Peasantry or 'Light! Inside of Light!'
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Asunder, Sweet and Other Distress Canadian

A couple of tracks in that set from another new-to-me LP, and band from Lawrence, Kansas, that released one LP in '05. Good album! Now that we've brushed with the prog-side, might as well dive in head-first with an Ottawa band (it's been a long time since I've heard anything from them... maybe defunct?)'s 2007, Rebel Wheel!

Cogs in Cogs

That was certainly a nod to some hardcore prog - one 'neo', one highly-touted classic, and one almost-kraut obscurity. Now back to the present-day (more-or-less) heavy-jam material from Denmark's Mythic Sunship, and their 2015 release, Ouroboros.

Another micro-feature for another new-to-me LP from Brooklyn psych/improv band Rhyton, from an LP they released in 2014! Now a little recent obscurity from the late, great Daevid Allen!
