Wet Tuna
Party In The House
Continuing this super productive year for the Feral Child label, the label releases an absolute peach here. Four totally whacked out, deep cuts that defy any hopes of genre pigeonholing; a deliciously dazzling moulding of ambitious grooves and ideas from the wonderful Wet Tuna. Never short on dizzying ambition, Feral Child described it as a 'Space Dub Psych Disco collision' on an Instagram post and that kinda holds true a few days on here. Fabulously bonkers and groovy in equal measure, this one comes hugely recommended. Wet Tuna feature Matt (MV) Valentine & Erika (EE) Elder alongside Jim Bliss, Woods' Jeremy Earl and on this record, Myriam Gendron. They've left it to Matt to offer up the introductory words: "Wet Tuna specializes in homegrown, dubwise psychedelia. Exploration is paramount. You have a third ear? Probably if you are that kind, that's spectrasound. They never do it the same way twice. 'Party In The House' features Myriam Gendron and has poetry penned by Benoit Chaput of L'Oie De Cravan. Samara Lubelski rips some electric violin, Jeremy Earl from Woods/Woodsist rides some golden tones singing harmony. Wet Tuna also has minor outlying islands, handmade things. Imported records, cassettes, CDs. Sonic archepalegos. There are also deep cuts on their Bandcamp. If you really DIG you will find big fun on the MV & EE cottage run private press label Child Of Microtones which they've been operating since 1999. You like big DISCO(2000) graphies & dead space? Wet channels & foggy notion "jam band" environments, genreless free folk? You are here." A fabulously expansive set of jams; totally out there, groovy and beautifully psychedelic.
