2010 release.
Wizard Prison
is a Seattle-based trio comprised of
Scott Colburn
(producer/engineer/frequent collaborator of the
Sun City Girls
, decade-long member of
Climax Golden Twins
and audio genius for Sublime Frequencies),
John Vallier
(an early member of
CGT
) and
Ben McAlister
(of the
Degenerate Art Ensemble
). Wizard Prison's music flirts with stoner metal riffery, kosmiche electronics and field recordings, usually at the same time. An intellectual might say their sound is in a state of constant "becoming." Chiming, churning guitar/bass/drums give way to pulsating synths and pitch-shifted foreign voices chanting to open the door to an alternate dimension. Each side-long suite supposedly illustrates the details of the cracked narrative detailed on the insert, but it mostly sounds like a good excuse to get stoned.
Next Cycle
is vibrationally reminiscent of the
Messenger Girls Trio
, although Wizard Prison wear outfits that fit quite differently. To make a great record even better, we've added the exceptional talents of Baltimore comix hero
Eamon Espey
. His darkly humorous artwork, on the jacket and poster, provide faux conceptual holism galore. Which is really more than anyone deserves. Edition of 500 copies.
