Blackest Rainbow

MV & EE – ‘Shade Grown’ LP £14
Shade Grown is the new studio LP from Vermont psych folk rulers, Matt Valentine and Erika Elder. Their first studio jam for Blackest Rainbow, something we’ve been keen to do for a while now after our previous live release for the duo. Shade Grown drops just in time for their November/December EU/UK tour, which judging by this LP, you won’t want to miss out on. The record features MV & EE channelling some spaced out tones with various incarnations of The Bummer Road, the more free cosmic jamming back up unit they venture out with from time to time. This personnel this time round reads as a who’s who of talent in the current psych/folk underworld… Jeremy Earl (Woods/Woodsist), Herbcraft, Rongoose, Carson ‘Smokehound’ Arnold, Doc Dunn, Mick Flower (Vibracathedral Orchestra/Flower Corsano Duo) and Muskox. You’re in for a treat of lunar blues, psych folk, and free form outer limit jammin’. We’re keeping this release strictly analogue. No download, no streaming. Vinyl only, like the good old days. Pressed in an edition of 600 copies package in a full colour sleeve with insert. 300 copies on 180 gram transparent teal vinyl, 300 copies on 180 gram black virgin vinyl.
