COURTIS/MOORE - BROKEBOX JUKE - LP ONLY - NO-FI (hear tracks at www.​myspace.​com/​aaronmooretheac​cidental)

here's what no-fi say:
courtis / moore – ‘brokebox juke’ gatefold vinly lp

alan courtis played electric & acoustic guitars, organ, homemade violin, bells, synth, processing & objects
aaron moore played thumb piano, electric guitar, cello, drums, percussion, trumpet, piano, beard trimmer, violin, voice

you’d never guess that this album was recorded by correspondence between buenos aires and brooklyn, as the sound of a full multi-faceted band in a warm room rises from the vinyl. alan courtis and volcano the bear’saaron moore throw down delicious rhythmic textures, mariachi-​tinged improv, brooding desert psych and more.

in a beautiful gatefold sleeve with photos by moore.

here's a review from foxydigitalis:
If only all postal collaborations sounded as alive as this one, Anla Courtis (Reynols) and Aaron Moore (Volcano The Bear) have put together a beautifully organic effort for NO-FI. The most important characteristic of the album is the scintilla of sunlight-​drifting dust that settles over Brokebox Juke, the kind of barely there unifier that makes this LP seem like a real-time recording. From the fly-tipping pastoral charm of “prorgreso = ropes gro” to the duo-​do-​four-​piece krautypsych of “gigngante = anti egg” Courtis/Moore have created finely-formed and textured arrangements across the record. Junk grooves, trumpet parts and acoustic guitar notes are layered like cross-fire breezed melodies from open studio windows looking out on city streets and open fields, this manages to be one of the most engaging, and naturalistic collaborations in recent years – and these guys didn’t even meet! Imagine one piece of gatefolded vinyl that is the summation of everything the Last Visible Dog label has ever promised to deliver. This is it. 9/10 -- Scott McKeating (17 March, 2009)


here's what mimaroglu say:
i make my love for courtis / reynols’ various transgressions known throughout these pages, but i’m also a hugefan of the past & present lineups of vtb ; with these guys’ wildly vacillating stylistic allegiances, this really could have gone in any number of directions ...

well, i’m glad to report that it does !!! starting out with a pastoral piece that bridges richard crandell’s earlyfingerstyl​e work with his later mbira patterns, the duo quickly move on into amp-tremolo gating & scrabblyguitar figures that really wouldn’t seem out of place on either band’s recordings ... but just when you think the album’s going to descend into post-nww tape-mangled improv gurk, they drop a super chilled latin-american sounding phrygian jam, replete with a morricone-​esque distorted trumpet solo.

the record continues on in similar fashion (including a massive la monte young lineage string-drone piece, all but dominating the second side) ; no question these guys are masters of their respective idioms, and it’s great to hear them stretch out ... highly recommended !!!
