MV & EE
alpine frequency
(child of microtones C.O.M. 44 2015)


sweet C.O.M. deluxe gatefold cd edition of our "ALPINE FREQUENCY" double LP jammer released via feeding tube records. a COMmunal golden road zone out colliding with the nu-clear duo exchange featuring prime buds P.G. Six & Marc "spanish wolfman" Wolf from the TOWER RECORDINGS and bevy of special guest heads: Pete Nolan (Spectre Folk/Magik Markers), Mike "Muskox" Smith, Mick Flower (Vibracathedral Orchestra), Rafi Bookstaber (Von Himmel, Mendocino), Paulie G (Von Himmel, Aswara), Carson "smokehound" Arnold, Adam Langellotti (Sore Eros/Home Comfort), Chris Livengood (Visitations/Video Nasties), Jeremy Earl (Woods, Meneguar, High Lodge), Doc Dunn!  

manufactured by hand in vermont with "tip on" sleeves mounted on custom heavy card jackets, hand bound with mini LP inner sleeve, stamping, quality bags, love, etc...

feel the music, feel the gravitational pull. no one takes you there like MV & EE on Child Of Microtones, often copied -> never duplicated. quality jams since 1999 and before/after prehistoric future. don't be duped, ride pure land. this is C.O.M. 44!



"Matt Valentine and Erika Elder have been cutting new synaptic pathways through brainic underbrush since before most people became capable of breathing air. That said, their albums (many of which are CDR only issues on their own Child Of Microtones imprint) often have a specific delirious blueprint, designed to shift only a certain batch of molecules and/or air into forms that translate into music. Such is not the case with Alpine Frequency. This lazily explorative 2LP set was sewn into a whole from various tattered swathes of sound, pieced together like the jeans Neil Young wore on the cover of After the Goldrush.
A Spectrasound production, AF includes appearances by a vast array of MVEE enablers of all known periods — PG Six, Mick Flower, Rafi Bookstaber, Jeremy Earl, Doc Dunn, Spanish Wolfman, and many others emerge from time to time, making sure the water is just right. And it is. Like a very good Dead set, the music here moves from overtly abstraction to melodic focus and back like the tracking shots Monte Hellman used in the film version of Charles Willeford’s Cockfighter. But unlike the Allman Bros. (who were extras in the crowd scenes at Hellman’s staged cock fights), MV&EE don’t do anything to placate the squares. Their trip is as deep, dark and flowing as a bushel of burning VT weed. Their music sucks you into its vortex (if it allows you in, of course) and then just carries your ass right through to the finish line. All you have to do is get up now and then to change the records.
This here outfit (in all its many guises) has put out a lot of great music, but Alpine Frequency feels like a real achievement — a shorthand essay about all that has gone before it. A beautiful capsulization, ready to float onto your ear’s tongue, to melt once and for all. Dig it."

Massive, expansive new Matt ‘MV’ Valentine double album “Midden Mound”. Featuring a host of guest performers, including P.G.

3 NEW HEROINES sweet archive & NOW

howdy folks,
here we have some sweet spot recordings and a beautiful representation of what a HEROINE "is" and where we are at. two of our most recent shows and an archival stomper from the DRONE TRAILER era as a quartet with percussionists/vibers rafi bookstaber and jeremy earl. know this -> there we were one night only MV & EE with THE GOLDEN WOODSTABBER, it's a groover and a gas. it hints at elements from ground zero trad gras colliding with the "happenings" of the tower recordings. this "seated boogie (way huge)" show in the wayback machine of 2009 was with kurt vile and spectre folk and our most recent return to new haven was also with spectre folk. the C.O.M. ouroboros in the continuum, continuity. don't be stymied folks…connect the neurons. nobody takes you there like a heroine.




$21 plus shipping nice price for all three


SOLD OUT!
