Frank Baugh/Sparkling Wide Pressure is responsible for a revolting volume of output over the past year and a half, especially because what we've heard of it has been consistently great. Countless tapes, splits, and CD-Rs are now littered across the continents, spreading the good word, and this latest release adds a few dreamy scriptures to the pile.
This Stunned CD-R, Facing the Nothing World , runs nearly 40-minutes on the dot over four meandering tracks that conjure up aquamarine-tinted slow motion footage of whales trundling forward on their migratory paths, sending out quavering dispatches to their ocean-locked mammalian brethren. But first they make a stop at the frickin' underwater disco, where someone's playing Board of Canada covers after hours as the stragglers filter out, and our hero is left in a puddle of his own wavering loops, playing himself a sad guitar solo.
That's track one, “Mood” (Guided), below. To hear where he goes from there, you'd need to order one of the 111 beautifully packaged CD-R's from Stunned or here before resorting to mediafire conjuring tricks.
