Weirdo Shrine Reviews New Die Geister Album!

"Die Geister Beschwören is an odd duck, in any proverbial pond, really. They are German named, yet they (mostly) reside in the USA, but they travel allover the world and pick up all kinds of (other-)worldly influences along the way too. The result is Ghost, This Is Survival, and it does not sound like anything I have ever heard before, which is of course right on the money for Weirdo Shrine and I was happy they tracked us down and sent us their sounds. 

Shall I try to capture these two, twenty minute long, sound adventures in words? Should I tell you exactly what to expect? Will words do it justice? Or shall I send you on your own adventure? An album that raises so many questions might be better off unexplained, but experienced, and unveiled by your own ears as the enigma it is. I’ll tell you one thing though; it is an exciting, never dull trip, through all kinds of nooks and crannies of soundscapes, freaky folk, world music, desert blues, beautiful film music, triphop, and endless oscillations. You will be weirded out, and you will push the repeat button once it’s over."

North Coast Journal Reviews New Datura Blues Album!

Datura Blues recorded a long-form improvised jam together in August of 2019 called Silence for the Apple to commemorate its 20th anniversary as an outré folk rock collective. Then with the help of local DJ Pandemonium Jones, they stitched the whole thing together into a coherent concept album revolving around a fictitious radio presentation. Jones' script is mostly composed of various reviews which the group has garnered in its two decade run, with a bit of sassy ad hoc banter tossed in the mix. The music is, as always with this group, meandering and fun, an occasionally discordant batter of oozing psych test patterns with acoustic/electric flourishes. Think about a roomful of common-to-less-common instruments played in the cut-up spirit of a collective mind palace by a group of sympathetic practitioners. I like to imagine that scene in David Cronenberg's Scanners, where all of the benign characters with the movie's titular affliction sit around in a circle wearing turtlenecks and practicing ecstatic ESP on one another. Just add some flutes and mandolins to the rock track and let the process figure itself out. I don't want to write too much more for fear my words might show up in a future release that I have inadvertently influenced because of that brilliant trick the artists are playing on us all by demanding our active involvement with their process. Suffice it to say, I had a good time listening and if you want to check it out you can do so on Bandcamp.

Savage Henry Reviews New Die Geister Album!

"The new album from Die Geister Beschworen, Drawn To The Investigation Of Shadows, is a psychedelic experiment that somehow feels both intimate and cold.  It made me think of being high in a grandma's living room, trying to hold it together but continually drifting into a distorted dream land.  It is an abstract, oddly folksy soundscape featuring many instruments, voices and ambient samples.  It is at times jarring, and being less than 40 minutes, it is easy to listen to a few times over.  It drew me in, made me curious and in the moments when I felt comfortable I was soon pulled from that musty armchair into a mysterious desert.  Although definitely not an easy listening, the album is successful as an experiment in Sound..."
