SET SAIL FOR THE LOW SEAS
Los Angeles - August 10, 2006
Members of Scottish post rock icons Mogwai and underground
metal heavyweights Electric Wizard have teamed up to create
a new outfit 'Crippled Black Phoenix' to be produced
by Portishead visionary Geoff Barrow.
Several years ago, a chance meeting backstage between
Justin Greaves (Iron Monkey, Hard to Swallow, Electric
Wizard, Varukers) and Dominic Aitchison (Mogwai), lead to a
long term friendship that trailed off with promises of
doing a project together 'some day'..
Fast forward to 2006 and the rest of the puzzle easily fell
into place with ethereal folk songster Joe Volk (who also fronts rock
titans
Gonga) and 3D House Of
Beef founder Nial McGaughey pledging their part in the group, the time
of
longtime friends to make something weird and wonderful had begun..
With a passion for creating epic and memorable "endtime
ballads", Crippled Black Phoenix have embarked on their
voyage of producing a cinematic trilogy of celestial
recordings. The sound of the band is a haunting mix of
nonsensical allegories, crooked advice, antique prose and
the sunset of redemption.
"I've been waiting for someone to make a record like this
for a long time" says producer Geoff Barrow.
Joining the group from experimental Greek/Cornish rock
archons Pantheist are members Andy Semmens and Kostas
Panagiotou, with additional musicians being trapped and
released from several UK orchestras.
The band has built a myspace page with several 'test
recordings' available for download at:
