The booklets of the four records are all incredible, really. They include fake documents and ads from Clinkshell, and describe movies, books, sweets, card games, etc etc etc. It's simply mad. This guy is a genius, really.

I am going to buy the albums as fast as I can get money!!!!

"Moon Wiring Club is assembled using astonishingly rudimentary technology: a PlayStation 2 and "a second-hand copy of MTV Music Generator 2 from 2001"."

SYRFox 12.08.2010 10:42 AM

well you could almost say the whole point of hauntology is to use old media in a new way. so i assume the vast majority of his sound is old 60's/70's sounds from old vhs cassettes and tapes and soundtracks and who knows what else.

i'm sure a lot of the sounds are also from plugins of the type of instruments they used commonly back in the periods the music is referencing. most of the ghost box stuff does that.

also, have you heard this?


 


it's a mixtape of old british tv soundtracks and other oddities, there's some great stuff on it, particularly 15:00-18:00 on side 1, which is pure bliss! it can be downloaded here - http://www.thewire.co.uk/articles/3623/

thanks for posting this!

New Moon Wiring Club album

 


The next offering from Ian Hodgson's Moon Wiring Club is a royal wedding commemorative album: Somewhere A Fox Is Getting Married. The record announces "the marriage of her Royal Highness the Princess Jackie and Lord Regis Lechmere at Clinkskell Abbey on Friday 31 April 1911". This isn't a cut and dry Kate and William tribute, this is a spectral wedding that's taking place in a parallel time zone with the real world wedding, and instead of 31 April 2011, Clinkskell hosts its union on 31 April 1911.

Somewhere A Fox Is Getting Married is the follow up to A Spare Tabby At The Cat's Wedding, released earlier this year. The tale goes, from one album to the next, that Lechmere has won the hand of Jackie in a card game, and now there's going to be a royal wedding. The album is LP only, and comes with colour commemorative poster. Read the poem above for hints and riddles as to the rest of the festivities taking place in Hodgson's ghost town. Pre-orders are open at the Blank Worksop giftshop now.

I've just pre-ordered mine!

too bad it's only out as an lp... won't be able to get this one (yes, i know it's shameful, but i don't own a turntable)

SYRFox 04.28.2011 02:27 PM
still a genius though. was listening to stripped paint yet once more the other day and it still blows my mind as much as it did when i first got my ears on it

oh, i think i misread your post, i thought you were trying to say i was a fool or something. (exams sure make me paranoid at times)

but yes, he definitely deserves your money. the guy actually puts some effort into his art and it shows - the packaging of his records is simply stunning, combining fake documents, fake ads from this fake town he created, which actually enhances the atmosphere created by those cds. i certainly do not regret the ~45€ those 4 cds cost me

Can't wait to get my hands on this one. Everything else MWC have done has been quite swell.

Nice to see them getting a bit of recognition, too...
