Mikel Dimmick Spiral Joy Band: It's a cylinder, no, it's a ... cassette!

Spiral Joy Band output expands onto that modern platform the C-60 cassette with the so-fresh-we-don't-have-copies-yet "Dreams of David Crosby" album issued by those Belgian aficionados of the magnetic ribbon Sloow Tapes.

Recorded mostly during the run of shows early this year at the Twisted Branch Tea Bazaar in Charlottesville, Va., it has the most developed duo percussion from Amy and Nathan that's yet seen release, and probably the most damaged fiddling Mike's put out there. Mikel's harmonium is a warm tsunami rising above the beachfront in a smooth and impossible cliff, a glassine pocket for the sky, the distant object that becomes an all-devouring horizon, an unending curve of now.

At least that's how it sounded the last time I heard it. Contact Sloow for copies or check here for availability in the surely not-too-distant future.
