Benjamin lp
Wantage USA / Pool or Pond
The Narrows music pushes acres of heavy till in front of it, much like a gargantuan northwest glacier advancing through a peaceful valley. This is the ultra-limited vinyl version of their spetacular Benjamin album, with slightly different song sequencing. Benjamin, from what we can tell, is a deeply reflective piece of work about Bellingham, and its people. It features recordings of the Narrows' encounter with the supernatural. Limited to 160, hand silkscreened copies.

Benjamin cd
Wantage USA
Benjamin marks longplayer number 5 for The Narrows, a Bellingham, Washinton trio who issue thick, powerful sounds at about the speed of the Sperry Glacier heading toward the lakes it feeds. The Narrows are a band steeped in wild combination of pain, loss, hope, family and friendship and the music offers listeners a glimpse into life in the Pacific Northwest rarely seen since the days of the Deep Six and Estrus Half Rack compilations.
Sean, Juice and Matt are all share some genetic makeup, and the familial closeness of two brothers and a cousin playing music together seeps through this record at every turn. Among the reasons for the formation of the band in 2000 was the therapy that playing slow, heavy music provided in the wake of a tragic Interstate 5 accident, and over time the music has taken different turns ranging into more hopeful and socially conscious territory.
Benjamin is the crispest, most representative recording the band has undertaken to date. RIYL: Sleep, the Melvins, Low, Unwound, etc.

Knife Hits cd
Tumult
The triumphant debut and tragic swan song from Bellingham's own Reeks And The Wrecks. The uncanny backwoods blowout that was marched from basement to barn around Whatcom County and down the west coast for years is finally brought to it's full potential on this disc. Tumult has done us all a great service by allowing this album to see the light of day. Knife Hits is strange music at it's best and HIGHLY recommended for everyone.

Red Sky In Morning cd
Badger Creek Productions
Courtney has been in Tucson for a little over a year, hailing from the musical mecca of the northeast. She got a black Ibanez electric guitar for her 13th birthday, and that was that. She honed her songwriting and performing skills in college at open mics and smoky bars. After graduating and living in small town western Massachusetts for six months, she packed up and got the hell out, eventually landing in the dusty southwest. Her blistering guitar style often leaves her fingers bleeding; her straightforward songwriting skills are a figurative match. Red Sky In Morning is Courtney's debut.
