Graham Lambkin

Throughout their legendary, decade-long run, the Shadow Ring were an enigmatic force on the international musical sub-underground. Before their disbandment in 2002, this shambolic rock outfit, formed by a group of rowdy teenagers in southeast England, left behind a mighty run of eight LPs, a handful of 7"s, and a spate of raucous live shows and cryptic zine appearances on both sides of the Atlantic, all which have bolstered their enduring word-of-mouth mystique. Beginning this year with the first-ever vinyl pressing of the self-released pre-Shadow Ring tape The Cat & Bells Club (1992), Blank Forms Editions is conducting a systematic retrospective of the storied group, including a multi-year LP reissue effort and a forthcoming comprehensive CD box set and an over five hundred page book.

Aussie concrète innovator James Rushford continues to scrape the outer rim on 'Turzets', coughing alien text-to-speak voices into meditative piano phrases and tweezed electro-acoustic drones on the first side, then deconstructing medieval organ music on the flip, combining gusty archaic melodies with sci-fi tinted Yamaha CS-80 zips. Mind-boggling stuff - RIYL Oren Ambarchi, Sam Kidel, Jim O'Rourke or even OPN.
