Hey kid wanna hear some free jazz from hell? Take a schizzed out trip for your listening pleasure (or displeasure) with Carnival Folklore Resurrection Vol 11/12: Radio One & Two. The album taken from a broadcast of the band Sun City Girls that originally aired on Brian Turner's WFMU radio show in 2002. Sun City Girls were experimental rock group - though to call them such feels misleading already as they cannot be easily summed up for simplicity’s sake. Formed in Arizona in 1979 by brothers Alan & Richard Bishop and Charles Gocher they have had an obscure and prolific career. The band is known for taking fragmented recordings of world music, answering machines, tv & radio media and defying genre and space and time, regurgitating everything and anything in their path and melting it down into a sick chaotic soup of their own peppered with a heavy hand of spoken word improvisation. This is one of my favourite albums to play while I’m painting or trying to do anything creative really - the constant motion from fragmented thought to thought and genre to genre really keeps the wheels turning. I frequently throw tracks from it into my other playlists like little interludes for breaks from reality. So take a trip with your Uncle Jim while he’s all hopped up in amyl nitrate - kick it with beatniks performing ritualistic theatrics with tongue tied mystics & join a cargo cult as you get lost in the paranormal and esoteric wild wild world of Sun City Girls.
One night I discovered this album while scrolling through songs to play on Clone hero (A clone of Guitar Hero ). Interested by the goofy album cover, I listened to the music and discovered one of my favorite bands. As far as I know this is the only published work of this band but it’s enough to satisfy. My favorite track from this album is “Summer Days “ because of how its able to convey a warm feeling of peace , it feels like a good day is almost over.You won’t regret listening to this album.
tomorrow PI.FYI launches to the public this project is the result of thousands of hours spent coding everything from scratch after I got laid off six months ago no thiel-bucks or weirdo outsider money, just a pure desire to make something fun and true to Perfectly Imperfect’s day one goal of helping people find new things from real human beings, not algorithms or AI a pure labor of love that I’ve been quietly plotting for two years and it’s completely self-funded from my (rapidly) dwindling savings account so thank you for coming along for this weird ride 🫶 let's see where it goes
