Cassowaries - Lake Loops (IKAAMR 003)


The bedroom psych-pop of past Cassowaries releases is nowhere to be found on Lake Loops. An hour and a half of murky drone dedicated to the lakes of the Pacific Northwest. Single take live improvisations. Think Grouper and early Pocahaunted trapped under an icy lake. Overdubbed over ancient church sermons, these white cassettes are limited to 20 in number. Chopped Michigan skyline artwork by Ryan Carter.
