about

In the fall of 2012, Matt LaJoie began work on a series of lo-fi solo 4-track cassette home recordings that were intended to become Herbcraft's fourth album, Wot Oz. Sonically steeped in the vibe and grime of VU amp tapes and Back From the Grave ravers—and warped further via DIY production experiments that incorporated psychedelic dub and Free Your Mind-style knob twistery—the collection is a perfect encapsulation of where Matt’s vision for Herbcraft was shifting after turning in the band’s Woodsist debut The Astral Body Electric. Several songs and sketches from this era were demoed and scrapped before the band's trio lineup solidified around drummer/producer Aaron Neveu and bassist/organist Joe Lindsey in summer 2013 to record Wot Oz proper; what remained on the figurative "trash heap" is now being brought to the light for the first time.

"Eon Rd" is a prime example of the lane Herbcraft was cruising down throughout 2012, particularly in duo live settings (with Dawn Aquarius on organ/synth): cassette backing tracks featuring hand drums and dubby, funk-indebted bass lines laying the pavement, with delayed wah guitar and fuzzed out tremolo leads trading off with vocal mantra and free-wail. The track builds fiery electric guitar into a wall of echoing feedback, approximating Royal Truxian lo-fi psychedelia moves before finally collapsing back into the rhythm bed from whence it grew.

The entire Herbcraft "Trash Heap" demo collection is intended for release later this year.
