KNEALE - KNEALE - KNEALE
the silver chair
A stunning collection of Sunday morning sleep-in destroying, home-recorded gems from the younger staff members of the C/Psi/P empire . Features Caspar Kneale's legendary ‘Feather Duster' lathe cut 7" (recorded at the age of 4), Winter Kneale's hobbling, square-wheeled, dance-music (also the efforts of a 4 year old), and a mind-melting live guitar, casiotone, bowed everything, blowout featuring a decrepit 30 year old guest. Genius? Bonkers? Or just too much ice cream?

Killer new disc from the extended Kneale clan, with Campbell Kneale (Birchville Cat Motel/Black Boned Angel et al) joined by his children for a heavy run-through of aleatoric punk strategy, enveloping hand-scrawled drones and Kosmiche brut. Somewhere between The Shaggs play The Velvets, The Scratch Orchestra, The Portsmouth Sinfonia, Damaskus-era Hijokaidan and a pre-teen Theatre Of Eternal Non-Music. Excellent.

There's nothing quite like a wig out in Dads shed after a delightful family meal listening to a nice Hijokaidan album. Am I bringing my kids up wrong? Perhaps I should have sent them to work at the coalmine when I had the chance? The latest 'beautiful family time' named after Caspars latest insect preoccupation. Over-amplified exoskeletons roar in fury as they are crushed under gigantic sneakers. Wild. (label press)
