Towncraft (Richard Matson, 2007)
[In April of ‘93] “There was a new governor and his daughter was having a birthday party, so she wanted to have a show for her birthday. So we put on a punk rock show in the back of the Governor’s Mansion… It was unreal. It was on the front page of the paper the next day. There my band is on the front page of the paper… We thought we ran the world.”
An angry neighbor of the governor wrote the paper and dubbed the crowd “a generation of vipers.”

Poppy Red
—Keep Your Heart
Poppy Red // “Keep Your Heart”
If you’ve got your headphones handy you are gonna want to grab them for this one. Molly Long and Jimmy Spice are back with another enchanting dreamscape as Poppy Red. Jimmy has been steadily sharing with me the stuff that these two have been coming up with over the last few months and all of that work has culminated in the beauty of “Keep Your Heart”. In keeping with the signature hushed tones, Molly has conjured up this atmosphere that would act as a perfect soundtrack to a foggy morning as the sun breaks in beams through the mist.
If there was some sort of meeting ground between Grouper and Enya, then let it be know that Poppy Red has staked claim to the land. Good news is that the pair are close to finishing a debut album that will be released on cassette by Nick Burk’s (of Acid Glasses fame) label Sunday Fir, so you can be sure I’ll raise the alarm when that thing makes it into the earth’s atmosphere.
And also speaking of cassettes, Liquid Skulls (Jimmy Spice’s other project) album In Lungs is out on yellow cassette right now on Thick Syrup Records. He told me that there aren’t too many left so snatch ‘em up! Ok, now I’m done.
…
Our homies, Molly and Jimmy, are KILLING it on this track. Fucking amazing vocal track. Jesus.
probably my favorite sabbath song. so beautiful and psychedelic.
