veterans Disastroid have been serving up sludgy, grunge-infused stoner rock for
the better part of a decade now, refining a sound that weaves heavy riffs
together with angular guitar lines, odd time signatures, and hazy walls of fuzz.
As influenced by '90s noise rock as they are by modern psych, doom, and
post-metal, Disastroid delivers thick, satisfying stoner rock stomp while also
embracing layers of noise, tripped-out feedback, and some unpredictable song
structures. Their original approach, captured on their 2014 record 'Missiles'
and the 2017 follow-up 'Screen', has made them one of the most essential bands
in the Bay Area music scene. 'Mortal Fools' is their heaviest and most
expansive-sounding album to date. Produced by Tim Green (Nation Of Ulysses, The
Fucking Champs), it's sonically focused on what Disastroid does best, laying
singer/guitarist Enver Koneya's deep vocals and fuzzed-out riffs on top of a
relentless, pummeling rhythm section. At the same time, it's loose enough that
it takes some unpredictable twists and turns, conveying the band's rough edges,
sense of humor, and noisy, experimental streak. - Knitting Factory Records reissues Fela Kuti's V.I.P. on vinyl LP, previously only available as part of the Box Set series. V.I.P. (Vagabonds In Power) was recorded live at the Berlin Jazz Festival in autumn 1978 and released the following year. It is a ferocious and lyrically exalted attack on the abuse of state power. The festival straddled the cusp of the break-up of Afrika 70 and the formation of Egypt 80 in spring 1979, and V.I.P. (Vagabonds In Power) was the last album Fela made with the drummer Tony Allen, who had been with him since 1964 and acted as Afrika 70's bandleader. The audio has been restored and remastered from Fela's original Nigerian recordings. The artwork has been meticulously recreated from original album artwork.Near-facsimile reissue of a record originally released in 1979.
