Pictures From the Aagoo show With : Israel M, Blevin Blectum and Father Murphy
Our showcase at Bruar Falls was a success in a few ways: not so many people came, but the artists brought it harder than ever, and there was free beer beer after 11..The show certainly knocked me out !! Yair López took a few pictures - while simultaneously listening in the dark - so here goes.

Father Murphy CD + LP Triple label split With Boring Machines & Madcap Collective-coming soon- USA Tour In June
"When I played a non-band set in Oakland, California, opening for the Italian band Father Murphy, they completely floored me. I had never heard of them until then, but their album" And He Told Us Not To Turn to the Sun" packs some of the most original, beautiful music I'd heard in a long time – think eerily spacious songs with strange yet perfect arrangements. And such nice people! I'm a huge fan."
John Dieterich - Deerhoof
This is from Aquarius Records New Arrivals list #318.
"We get sent a ton of stuff to check out. And it's awesome, truly, So much amazing music to discover, but at the same time it's so overwhelming. But every once in a while a record pops up that makes it all worth while. Such is the case with this disc from these Italian weirdos Father Murphy. What makes it even cooler is that this record, and this band, are SO hard to describe.
It's a bit like folk, a little bit like post punk math rock, a little avant noise, but stripped way down into something skeletal, they definitely sound a little bit like one of the new breed of freak folk psych folk cd-r outfits, but at the same time, they sound like NOTHING you've ever heard. Detuned guitar plod, spaced out rhythmic thump, lots of deep shimmery ambience and FX drenched drifts, wavery falsetto crooning, warbly organs, and the occasional bursts of feral yowling, wow. Unhinged, fractured, freaky, passionate, super intense and awesome.
In discussing Father Murphy, other reviewers have mentioned Robert Wyatt, This Heat, Samla Mamas Manna, we also hear plenty of Marc Ribot in the guitars, all angular and off kilter, there's also some mysterious female vocals that surface here and there, field recordings, crickets, birds, all beneath weepy mournful Morricone-ish twang, a sound both woozy and ominous, dreamy and dense, a glorious deathlike dirge, part Dirty Three, part fluttery forest folk, a little wheezy organ dirge pop, some slooooooowed down Blonde Redhead, like we said this is super hard to describe. but what we do know is we love it. And you will do, if your tastes run toward the dark, the dolorous, the mysterious, the haunting, the dirgey and the deathlike."

Coming soon Colin Stetson Picture Disc with Remix's by Lessons & Tim Hecker
This is a limited edition of 260 picture disc's. The photos are by Scott Irvine. It features two songs from Colin's intense and ominous debut "New History Warfare vol. 1" and two remixes. The first remix is by Lessons (Jeremy Gara). It builds heavy and thick. Time slows down.
Next is Tim Hecker's (White Pulse mix), which is more gentle; the smoke and rubble have settled. You are safe now to let your mind wander.
There is a beauty to this music that is almost impossible to describe, unique, epic and totally amazing. Feel the surging power and get lost in this strange world!

Israel M "Nareah" CD - 21 April 2009
Aagoo is very happy to release Nareath - Israel M' s first solo full-length album!
Israel M's Nareath transcribes a psyco-acoustic journey through a deeply entertaining sonic desert.
Presented as 5 mental landscapes, Nareah is a work in which Israel M merges field recordings with synthesized and sampled instruments, generating a richly complex yet minimalist hypnotic music.
