ETHBO 009EP
|
"A head-on collision of rockabilly, tectonic garage punk and the production inventiveness usually attributed to the likes of Joe Meek or Phil Spector. Dean Carter started recording rockabilly in the late fifties in Champaign, IL and beat that path well into the late sixties. By then with an arsenal of the latest studio tricks, a bus-load of local talents and a single minded, twisted vision. Carter's unique take on Jailhouse Rock, released in 1967 on Milky Way, was coupled with Rebel Woman: A wall of fuzzed out guitar and Carter's swooping vocal range, punctuated with karate chops. It's a cigarette's time-scale roller coaster which dumps you at the end, exhausted by the relentless reverb energy, with Carter's closing monologue babbling in your ears as you fade away. Backed here with 'I Got A Girl' revealing another strand of Carter's mutant hybrid of rockabilly and garage. Needle in the groove, or direct to the jugular, the din underpinned by the throbbing rhythm of his local backing singers, Carter screams manic lyrics over a hastily scratched tremolo guitar. Mastered by Dubplates and Mastering, Berlin."

ETHBO 007EP
|
"The remaining 100 copies from a 500 run, originally released in September 2001. Stephen -- back then -- was an unsung legend, who has since carved out his place in the varied new folk scenes. His band Tree People's privately pressed 1980s LP was plucked from obscurity by a few worldly collectors and traveled from Portland Oregon into the hands of Tiliqua Records in Japan, who reissued it on CD in 2006. The songs on this Ethbo 7" were brought to the label's attention by musician David Nettleton. He included some tracks from Stephen's solo CD Real Life And Fiction, with a selection of avant garde sounds on a mix CDr. The sound of this singer-songwriter, bashing out a kind of punky-folk drone interspersed with crashing chimes, stuck out from the pack."
