Luke Haines And Peter Buck

Going Down To The River... To Blow My Mind

    • The third in the 'psychiatric trilogy' of albums by Luke Haines (The Auteurs, The Servants, Black Box Recorder) and Peter Buck (R.E.M).

    • Recorded in Portland Oregon, USA foot-down-to-thefloor- throttle-out style.

    Expect to sail through churning psychedelic excursions that ask for clarity on questions like... Have you ever been cold called by someone claiming to represent the Pink Floyd research group? Have you been stranded on the moon with Papa John Philips? (and then realised you were out of drugs). Can you count your nervous breakdowns on the paws of more than two dozen cats? Does it feel like all you ever do is answer questions? Yes? No? Then take a trip down to the river...to blow your mind.

    Luke Haines & Peter Buck

    Beat Poetry For Survivalists

      Beat Poetry For Survivalists is the new collaboration between Peter Buck & Luke Haines.

      Peter Buck was the guitarist for the biggest band in the world – REM.

      Luke Haines was the guitarist for the Auteurs. The Auteurs were not the biggest band in the world. They were pretty good though.

      Luke Haines also does paintings of Lou Reed.

      One day, Peter Buck bought one of Luke Haines' Lou Reed paintings. They had never met before but decided that the fates had brought them together and they should write some songs together and make an album.

      'Beat Poetry For The Survivalist' is that album. With songs about legendary rocket scientist and occultist Jack Parsons, The Enfield Hauntings (of 1978), a post-apocalyptic radio station that only plays Donovan records, Bigfoot, and Pol Pot.
