new project of Desert Rock Godfather Gary Arce (Yawning Man) - feat. dividing lead singers John Garcia (Kyuss, Vista Chino, Slo Burn etc.) and Sera Timms (Ides of Gemini, Black Mare) - guest appearances by Mario Lalli (Fatso Jetson, Yawning Man) plays bass, and Robby Krieger (The Doors) plays electric sitar - Limtited to 500 copies on blue vinyl! In an age when the underground is dug up and paraded, commoditized, cheapened and discarded seemingly on a weekly basis, guitarist Gary Arce remains a genuinely underappreciated craftsman in heavy rock and roll. As the six-stringer for Yawning Man going back three decades, he's one of the principal architects of the sound born in California's sands and known commonly as desert rock. His contributions have been pivotal in the creation of a style no less American than Delta Blues and no less imitated worldwide, and with Zun's Burial Sunrise, he not only reaffirms the breadth and vitality that has made his work so essential, but builds on it in expansive and vibrant ways. The core trio of Zun is Arce and vocalists Sera Timms (Ides of Gemini, Black Mare) and John Garcia (Kyuss, Vista Chino, Slo Burn, etc.). Arce plays bass and lap steel on Burial Sunrise as well, and he and Garcia and Timms are joined by drummers Bill Stinson (Chuck Dukowski, Yawning Man) and Harper Hug - the latter of whom also recorded the album at Thunder Underground Studios in Palm Springs, CA. Mario Lalli (Fatso Jetson, Yawning Man) also contributes bass on a track, adding to the fluid, jammy feel that pervades the vast soundscapes conjured. Timms and Garcia divide lead-singer duties among Burial Sunrise's six cuts, with Garcia lending his signature croon to "All that You Say I Am," the brooding "All for Nothing," and the drifting desert ode "Nothing Farther," while Timms brings her ethereal, otherworldly presence to "Solar Days," "Come through the Water" and "Into the Wasteland," the last of which might just be the album's signature piece, seeming to mirror the wide-ranging, sandy thematic of "Nothing Farther" in bringing the desert - a place too often wrongly thought of as dead - to life in vivid colors and warm tonality, but pushing even further into an uncharted reach. Known for forming and contributing to projects like Ten East (with Brant Bjork), Dark Tooth Encounter (with Lalli, Stinson and Scott Reeder), The Sort of Quartet, Yawning Sons (with Sons of Alpha Centauri), and more, Arce brings a style that is inseparable from desert rock. For the partnerships he's made in Zun and for the scope of the album, its laid-back feel and pervasive exploratory sensibility, Burial Sunrise might just prove to be a landmark in his discography as well as the beginning of a new era of his work, continuing to reshape the genre he helped create in the first place in a manner that, like the sands themselves, seems to remain separate from time despite the chaos all around.

Re-issued on vinyl for the first time since it's 1987 release, At Swim 2 Birds is a sonically rich and ever expanding collaboration between Peter Jefferies (This Kind Of Punishment) and Jono Lonie. Originally released on Flying Nun Records and then Xpressway - At Swim 2 Birds saw Peter Jefferies (on percussions, piano, tapes etc.) team up with Dunedin folk musician Jono Lonie (synth, guitar and violin) on the instrumental release, one that is at times both pastoral and experimental. Noise ambience, minimalism, piano-scapes, experimental moods, open forms... a homemade instrumental sound related with so many fields, seeking for free combinations among several elements and defending both antithesis and co-existence.

Successor to 2013's Euporie Tide, which consolidated the band as a crucial force in the European psych scene. Return To Sky is a condensed piece of acutely experimental, yet immensely engag-ing, instrumental rock. Each of the album's five epics unfolds as a microcosm of the band's genre-transcending psychedelia at large, yet adds something different to the whole. Heavy, detuned riffs are transformed into wide, pastoral soundscapes, and fluid minimalism warped into swirling cre-scendos and back again. More than any other record in their catalogue Return To Sky declares their roots in the avant rock of the late 1990s - where different eras and genres merged into something that resonated as much with the present as it celebrated the past. It also reveals the fact that members of the band has had their hands in many different projects since the band's debut album in 2005: solo excursions into synthesizer music, collaborations with members of Sunburned Hand Of The Man and Tortoise as well as film soundtracks, guest spots with krautrock legends Faust and Damo Suzuki and vari-ous improv sessions. It has all worked a subtle influence on the kind of band they have become. Never before has Causa Sui sounded as deep and mesmerizing as on this set.
