Oxford-based improv/experimental/out-there music label fourier transform have just released a six-track album by Bristol’s Vibrafuzz Family. The self-titled album is being offered as a free download as well as in a very limited CD edition. Only ten copies of the CD edition are available through fourier transform, each hand-numbered and finished with a hand-cut obi.
Vibrafuzz Family contains a collection of six tracks by Vibrafuzz Family, the umbrella name for projects involving Tim Newman, who explores music covering 1970s Krautrock and Kosmische along with acoustic guitar pieces and traditional Indonesian Gamelan, and variety of moods that reference and use the sounds of Ash Ra Tempel, Tortoise, drum breaks, Ambient and psychedelic fuzz guitar.
The release is the twelfth from the slow-moving label, who have previously put out many weird and wonderful things in elaborate packaging, including the 3CD box set Brave New Wales, the noise-attack of Aufgehoben’s Anno Fauve and a hand-finished vinyl edition album by Oxford’s very own Lum Col Con Pix.
Vibrafuzz Family can be downloaded or bought from the fourier transform website, and you can read more about Vibrafuzz Family here.
