OSTRAALY - Misery Guests LP

Limited edition of 400 copies.

What you'll find within the grooves of Misery Guests is a band assuredly zoned into what they're laying down. It woozily rollicks in a way that's fetchingly out of step and swings in a rural-like, rough hewn manner that's unimpeachable.

To say nothing of the out-of-time folk ruggedness stitched in, which makes these tracks seem almost plucked out of some mid-70's time warp that contemporary alt/retro bands could only dream of conceiving. And while its existence will forever remain bittersweet that Katherine Daly isn't here to embrace its ultimate fruition, her spirit is forever locked into every nuance of this stone-cold masterpiece.

FFO: Fairport Convention, Etchingham Steam Band, 'Desire'/Rolling Thunder era Dylan, Patti Smith Group, The Garbage And The Flowers.
