Description
Offered here is one of the more obscure records by Kendra Smith of Mazzy Star fame. This is a rare 10" released in 1992 on Fiasco records. Vinyl and cover are NM. The cover is a four sided fold open sleeve. 6 tracks on this LP instruments by Kendra Smith, Eergott Liqueure, Franz Pusch, Orson, Jonah Corey, A. Philip Uberman, Mitch Greenhill. Brilliant record at the top of their game. Excellent sound quality on this one.
By '91, Smith seemed to have made her back-to-rustic-life hippie move permanent and was through with even gentle rocking and rolling. The Guild of Temporal Adventurers put paid to that assumption. Recorded as a trio of Smith, Jonah Corey and A. Phillip Uberman with four aides-de-weird, this spare and lovely 10-inch of folky electric pop wraps the persistent Nico/Velvets element of Smith's music — underscored by her adoption of pump organ as a primary instrument — around mild mysticism and a subtle intrusion of atmospheric sound effects. (To get to Smith from the sound of Nico, hold the accent and raise the room temperature about fifteen degrees in tone and passion.) Smith does most of the singing — the lullaby-like "Stars Are in Your Eyes" and the droney "Earth Same Breath" ("All the Next Day's Parties"?) are especially pretty — but co-writer Corey joins her on two of the six songs, including the Eno-esque "Wheel of the Law."
Highly recommended to the Mazzy Star fans.
