Master Musicians of Bukkake: "Gnomi" (Video)
What I hear is Josh Homme's Desert Sessions and Neu! filtered through a voluntary downer intake and hours of hunting shows and scrambled porn. Master Musicians of Bukkake's Far West will be out June 10th. In the meantime, check out "Gnomi" and view the info, which was provided by Rarely Unable.
MASTER MUSICIANS OF BUKKAKE EUROPEAN TOUR BEGINS THIS WEEK; ANOTHER VIDEO UNEARTHED
On the eve of their 2013 European tour, Master Musicians of Bukkake have released another mysterious video, a sequel of sorts to the previously unveiled 'White Mountain Return' this time for the track 'Gnomi'. On this video there are similar unsettling vibes but the tone of the song and the music takes a u-turn from white noise and synths into progressive folk with sinister vocals.
Here is the direct link: http://youtu.be/BDnlztE9Yog
Don't forget you can also watch the video for 'White Mountain Return': http://youtu.be/zof_tW4HrT0
Both tracks are taken from their brand new album Far West, which is due for release 10 June through Important Records.

“Go west, young man.” –Horace Greeley
On Far West the Master Musicians of Bukkake mark a turn from their Totem Trilogy. If the Totems were an expression of yang energy, then the Far West cycle is the yin that took seed within the trilogy.
What happens when you travel so far east looking for enlightenment that you pass your destination and are headed west again? The mania of being lost in the mountains of the Cascade Corridor, searching aimlessly for the Northern Pacific coast. A spiritual Donner party of sorts, feeding off fantasy and mirages and imaginary shamans. Far West is the soundtrack to this expedition to the caves of light we all travel into with hopes of acquiring redemption, only to realise our bodies have dissolved—gone like rain from the sky, snow from the ground, thoughts from the mind.
The sound of Far West is a progressive folk record inspired by Paul Giovanni’s Wicker Man soundtrack, early Canterbury prog folk, the suspenseful soundtracks of Goblin and Ennio Morricone, Gerry Goldsmith’s interwoven dark orchestrations, and Pacific Northwest folk rock. The Master Musicians of Bukkake take an earthly and shamanistic approach to these influences and infuse it with Krautrock pulses interweaved with acoustic guitars, intricately layered rhythms, hazed-out modular analog synths, brassy stabs, and cultish choirs. A true psychedelic, audiophile experience to dissolve your body in.
Far West also features backing vocals by Sub Pop! recording artists Rose Windows, a deluxe cover illustration by Simon Fowler (see below) and the amazing photography of Alison Scarpulla.
Master Musicians of Bukkake is:
David Abramson: percussion, drums, tef, shaman shakers, green fog
B.R.A.D: percussion, vocals, candles, sights unseen
Don McGreevy: percussion, drums, 12 string electric and acoustic guitar, mellotron, bass, brass arrangements
Randall Dunn: korg analog synths, mellotron, divining rod, water seeking foolishness
Milky: electric and acoustic guitar, synths, vocals, mossy fuzz
Timm Mason: electric guitar, serge modular synth, electric bass, insects
