ABOUT THIS ITEM

The second of this month’s new 45s on The GPS sees a stunning split 45, pairing Sonic Boom’s Spectrum with New York’s Cheval Sombre.

The Spectrum side sees a debut airing for the full length version of live favourite “Mary”, previously released as a nagging teaser intro / outro to the great “Indian Giver” CD collaboration with Jim Dickinson a couple of years back. A beautiful 7 minute ode to Kraftwerk and Suicide via a passing nod to Stereolab and Neu! that debuts on wax and as a full length take here, exclusively. Put simply, this is just ridiculously awesome….

The reverse side features an exclusive Sonic Boom remix of the wonderful “Red Moon” from the imminent, glorious Cheval full length. New York based Christopher Porpora has previously released some wonderful singles on Static Caravan and Trensmat, leading in turn to a full length release on Dean Wareham’s “Double Feature” label.

Whether one scribe’s term “delicate, druggy, slow core folk” sits true, remains a matter for debate, but either way this has an air of a Nick Drake tune around it, with added Sonic Boom Elektronik impetus…

Released on white vinyl in Ivan Liechti op-art sleeve, this one’s a cert for a hasty selling out…
