About this item

The Vocokesh (previously simply 'Vocokesh') formed in 1991 when guitarist Richard Franecki spun out of orbit from F/i, the legendary Milwaukee psychedelic veterans he co-founded. Thinking them turning a bit polite, The Vocokesh provided the necessary vessel to sufficiently blast Franecki's undiluted vision of full-blown experimental/free-acid rock mayhem further out into the ether. Multiple recordings for RRRecords, Drag City, Lexicon Devil (responsible for many a Vocokesh and F/i reissue) and Strange Attractors Audio House chart relentless trajectories of improvised, analog electronics-laced instrumental rock psychedelics that reverently summon the spirits of the most marginalized ruffians of 70s Krautrock (Amon Duul I, Ash Ra Tempel, Agitation Free) while exploring newer terrain. With 2005's "Through The Smoke", The Vocokesh took a bit of a detour by lacing their hallucinatory flurries with actual 'songs', in the vein of latter 60s fuzz/psych. Franecki and the boys' restless spirit never wanes, and thus "... All This and Hieronymus Bosch", The Vocokesh's eighth long player, marks more departures from previous formulas, resulting in some of their finest and freshest sonics yet.
