about

New Believers

Bang on the silver tray that hangs in the garden. That should get their attention. Play it like a drum! Boop-too-doo and sqwee-bah-dang the earth as it is in the leaven. And they said we could still eat bread (just barely).

Eyelids flicker at that heart full of beating drums, the timid first rum-tum-tums of a mind just waking up. We hear it from a distance but feel it in our bones!

Now the rabbles have been roughly roused! Not by the infamous stool pigeons. Not by the rank and tumble messages of “switch it off” and “cut it out.” The nimble millions have been knocked from the gaze-less stupor by their dwindling pool of relevance! Behold the shocking contraction of meaning! Like a vacuum, sucking the sis-boom-bah from the daily waking circus of purpose! “But!” we cry, “no more!”

The cymbal crash and hounded pots are symbols of a feeling! Not ever seen between the teeth that gnash! Where will the multitude go when the salty effluvium throws itself upon their good graces? When the majestic chilly behemoths come to their senses and brush us off like a dry flake on a shoulder?

Oh! When those slimy sitters, who’ve only just now awoke to their sit-sores, finally open their dust covered eye-lids and exclaim! “Who has left these messy foot-prints in the mud of status quo!?”

“YOUSE!” said them. “US!” said us. It was to be a long yet beautiful morning.

about

MINOTAURS Guelph, Ontario

Minotaurs are a nine-piece band blending the churning funk rhythms of Fela-Kuti-style Afrobeat and the deliberate songcraft of indie rock. The dynamic rhythm section is complemented by massive billows from the horn section; it’s a dance party, but a smart one where Lawr’s thoughtful, impassioned lyrics don’t take a back seat to the funk. ... more

Sword & Sworcery LP - The Ballad of the Space Babies
by Jim Guthrie

supported by 8 fans who also own “NEW BELIEVERS”

This is music for walking into the depths of the woods and forgetting about the world beyond the trees. Joyful, mysterious, and wistful, these tracks are a perfect soundtrack for a magical adventure. Other suitable times to play this album include: when you need background music for your D&D session; while you're staring out the window on a foggy day; during a lengthy study/work session and need focus music.

Now, More Than Ever (Remastered Edition)
by Jim Guthrie

supported by 7 fans who also own “NEW BELIEVERS”

Now, More Than Ever has to be my favourite album of all time. Every song is perfect no filler or okay songs, just ten tracks of perfection. The blend of indie rock and strings is amazing and it something I don't hear very much. This album also gives me a small town and nature vibe which I love. so in short get this album you won't regret it! erncolin
