DRAGGING AN OX THROUGH WATER - Whole Earth Cataloged LP

Twelve years in the making, a new record by Portland's idiosyncratic master of ultra modern folk music Dragging An Ox Through Water.

Old school electronic oscillations and blips meet solid guitar playing and singing. The lyrics alone are worth the price of admission. Nothing obvious is ever said and every word gleens with layers of meaning.

Dragging An Ox Through Water is Brian Mumfords' cult long running art music project, marrying the lyrical twang of country and folk to the the broken textures of feedback, drones, tape hiss, and the howl of homemade oscillators.

Beloved in Portland. Willfully underground. The real stuff. A modern masterpiece.
