About this item

The sweet hum from the vampire wood returns as Five Green Moons make another orbit. Ritual incantations and Dubwise vibrations are fused with angular guitars and skittering basement electronics to form a new entity. Moon 2.

Justin Robertson's second outing as Five Green Moons is a fusion of influences. The presence of occult mystery can be felt in the chants and vocal motifs, there lurks a manifestation of elastic post punk in the zigzag echo further enhanced by the appearance of Brix Smith, former high priestess of the Fall on two tracks. One could draw comparisons with P.I.L, Holy Tongue, the hauntological sound of Current 93, the trippy off kilter hypnotism of Brown Rice era Don Cherry, and of course the solid foundations of Dub. The bass is heavy, the sound spacious. This isThe sweet hum from the vampire wood returns as Five Green Moons make another orbit.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Sitting comfortably next to other contemporary funky-punky-psychedelic-dub efforts like Exotic Gardens & J Walk (High Wolf anyone?), Justin Robertson's second effort comes wrapped in black magik and mystery.
