Northampton Wools Self-titled Double Cassette
April 22, 2007

Bonescraper Recordings will soon release the debut recoding from Northampton Wools (Thurston Moore and Bill Nace) on Double Cassette:
"If you're a Western Mass townie, its likely that you've experienced more of Thurston Moore's side projects than you've ever thought possible. Of all his recent non-Sonic Youth outings this little piece of analog realy exciting.
As far as double cassettes go, this is succinct and to the point. Two 24 minute tapes are just enough to showcase Northampton Wool's plinking, lo-fi, scuzzed out guitar noise. Moore needs no introduction.The other collaberator, Bill Nace, is no stranger in the Pioneer Valley experimental music scene. He can be found scraping out caverns of sound with Chris Corsano in Vampire Bellt, Chris Cooper (Fat Worm of Error) in Buddies, or with his long running band XO4. In Noho Wools, we get to see these two axe masters furiously battle it out, and fuse thier weapons into one chaotic, molten mess. This recording is as much of a send up to Dead C as it is to Thurston's unabashed love of Wolf Eyes and Hair Police. It has all the energy and punk attitude, and the chops and skill to back it up. Those who successfully seek out this little jem will be rewarded".

fucking great.. thanks for the heads up!!

neat and cheap! thanks moshe!

pssshaw! the cassette that thurston did earlier this year cost $25 or something like that. THAT'S a jip, but i still bought it :-(

thanks for info.

i really enjoy the bark haze stuff.

as for the other solo stuff, i don't have much of it. i have the cassette he did earlier this year, flipped out bride, and the root 5xlp set. i think that's it, though.

what was the way pricey cassette thing? i missed it i guess...

it was called "black weeds/white death" and was only expensive because it came from london, i think.

I want me one of these. emailed the dude last week about getting one but haven't heard back...

i don't particularly like to deal with folks who don't do paypal. i hate money orders and cheques and it takes too fucking long to send everything through mail.

sounds like reality takes a toll out of you.

paypal = CIA

paypal also = me getting my shit quicker.

I'm just being a trolling dick.

I hate the paypal only people on ebay!

For those who don't want to send money orders or cheques, this set is also available from:

Armageddon Records (USA)
Volcanic Tongue (UK) - Thank you Moshe for telling me about this one.

The latter assumes that Whorefrost and I haven't just bought up their entire stock :D

I just ordered my copy from the states. Thanks sonicl.

My copy arrived from VT this morning. Nice packaging, but there may be a few days' wait before I can say anything about how it sounds.

My critical evaluation, as published on my blog (link in sig)

Northampton Wools is a duo comprised of Thurston Moore and Bill Nace, two of my favourite axe-shredding fools. Therefore I was very excited about receiving this debut release in the mail, a double cassette blow-out.
Four sides of bombastic, violent amp-confrontation tempered by some eerie lull that closes down side 4. An almost power-electronics level of unremitting heaviosity is achieved throughout.
The packaging is very nice as well, minimal and eloquent, which is a pleasant suprise as sometimes these underground cassette joints come in decidely sketchy packaging.

this tape is amazing. i like it better than bark haze stuff. this has been on constant car-rotation for a week now. def worth 8 bux.
