OUT NOW on Not Not Fun Records : High Wolf "Ascension" LP

Pyramidal meditationist High Wolf has been highly active since last summer’s Animal Totem tape dropped on NNF: he’s released three full-length CDRs, started his own record label (Winged Sun), begun a mail-collab with Astral Social Club (as Iibiis Rooge), embarked on two UK/Euro tours (one with heavyweights Gnod), plus trekked out on a month-long solo journey through India to collect field recordings and get deep. Whoa! Makes you feel lazy right? Well actually that’s not all, as he also spent a few months somewhere in there recording, mixing, and re-recording the five multifaceted ethno-flux odysseys that comprise Ascension, his debut vinyl full-length. Utilizing his usual toolbag of looped tablas, fuzz guitar leads, chiming white light guitar, synth swells, and cloud-climbing electronics, the album safaris through a host of ecstatic ritual landscapes with more focus and magic than any other High Wolf hunt to date. A beautiful album for dissolving, dreaming, dancing (in a certain way). Been spinning this one weekly, share the flight. Black vinyl LPs mastered by Pete Swanson.

NEW : INCAPULCO LP

When it came out last year from nearly nowhere, High Wolf's 'Incapulco' casted a spell on us so intense that it came immediately obvious this record had to exist on wax. Imagine 'Incapulco' as an unmapped land, a place under mystic light. High Wolf's music transports you there. Fuzzy wah guitars, trancey keyboards, delayed vocals, groovy percussions and jungle spirit! An excellent companion to the 'Ascension' LP that was released on Not Not Fun a couple of months ago. Originally self-released in a cdr edition, the record has been remastered by the mighty Pete Swanson for this vinyl edition and artwork has been completed by our friend César Brun. Pressed on heavy 180g black vinyl. Limited run, no repress. So act fast You can purchase it here : http://kaugummi.fr/wingedsunrecords/

NEW RELEASE : SHANGRI L.A CD

High Wolf makes music like no one else on the planet. He claims to be from the Amazon and all his activities are shrouded in mystery. Sometimes he is just one man, other times High Wolf is a duo. In either case he conjours mystic tropical clouds of repetition and build that, while complex, are never hard to listen to. The music seems to tap into a primal frequency and demands listeners to dance. A contemporary of James Ferraro (of The Skaters), Oneohtrix Point Never and Ducktails. He has records and tapes out on loads of ultra hip labels like Not Not Fun (the people who put out records by Sun Araw, Magic Lantern, Pocahaunted), Krayon, his own Winged Sun. Also he's known as the new superastral duo team IIbiis Rooge with the seminal talents of Mr. Neil Campbell, better known these days as Astral Social Club and (ex-)member of Vibracathedral Orchestra. The new album Shangri L.A features the edited tracks from acclaimed cassette "Gabon" on Winged Sun Records and 3 exclusive new tracks recorded during the spring of 2010. These tracks has been remastered by the Japanese famous engineer Soichiro Nakamura (Guitar Wolf, Boris, Yura Yura Teikoku...). The album showed High Wolf looking at Africa from his native Amazonia...What's the difference between Amazonian and African jungles? When we live in the wild, with percussions and tribal singing, we're all the same... Stay tuned for much more High Wolf, including a split 12" with Forest Swords on Brooklyn label Group Tightener (Best Coast, Alex Bleeker etc) and forthcoming shows. Japan tour (w/ Topping Bottoms ) scheduled for September 2010 and a limited LP will be pressed for this tour.

Sounds Like:

"High Wolf uses loops, percussive sounds, fuzzy keyboards and obscure sunken melodies to create a ritual space that combines aspects of exotica, ethno-flux, drone and minimalism while skirting the kinda haunted forests of tone previously the domain of Spencer Clark and James Ferraro."
