Mike Cooper Reissues

Paradise of Bachelors, a Record Label located in the North Carolina, has announced the first artist-sanctioned reissues—and first-ever vinyl reissues—of iconoclastic English-born, Rome-based folk and experimental music legend Mike Cooper’s classic trio of early 1970s avant-folk/rock records: "Trout Steel" (1970), and "Places I Know" (1971) with "The Machine Gun Co. with Mike Cooper" (1972), named for the 1968 Peter Brötzmann album, on double album. 
Pre-order and more information HERE.

"The molting began in 1970 with Trout Steel, on which Cooper took a decisive step away from the folk and blues scenes in which he was well-known—he had toured with Michael Chapman and traveled in the same circles as Bert Jansch, Wizz Jones, and Davey Graham, among others—toward the New Thing jazz of Pharaoh Sanders, Sonny Sharrock, and Derek Bailey, without sacrificing any of his lyrical songwriting or forsaking his established roots in the soil of the American Southern vernacular. Producer Peter Eden (Donovan, Bill Fay, Clive Palmer) assembled a crack team of English and South African jazz and folk musicians (including Mike Osborne, Harry Miller, Geoff Hawkins, Stefan Grossman, and Heron) to record these remarkable sessions, and the results are absolutely sui generis, a compelling mix of tradition, group improvisations, and unfettered studio explorations that presaged Cooper’s adventurous work for decades to come." -- via Paradise of Bachelors

"A split 7″ deserves a split write-up. So, Northern Spy asked Deerhoof’s Greg Saunier and Ceramic Dog’s Marc Ribot to write something about this record. Turns out there’s some mutual respect here. I guess it’d be weird if there wasn’t."

NEW TIME (feat. Dale Crover, Joe Plummer, Coady Willis)

"I heard Max Roach’s M’Boom 14 years ago and I’ve wanted to make my own version with drummers I love ever since. Dale, Coady and I carved out our own compositions built from a combination of drum kits and dozens of percussion instruments. I couldn’t be prouder of the end result. Thank you for the inspiration Mr. Max Roach. It’s Hew Time!" – Joe Plummer

Hew Time is a new all-drumming project from Dale Crover, Joe Plummer, and Coady Willis (dudes from Melvins, Modest Mouse, Big Business, The Black Heart Procession, The Shins, Murder City Devils, Nirvana).  Their self-titled album is now available on vinyl & digital via Joyful Noise Recordings.  Order, HERE.
