At the time of writing, this ten-minute section of a full 90 minute live set from Danish Four Piece Causa Sui has received a mere 1021 views on Youtube, none of which have spawned a comment. Not to worry though, the first video ever uploaded onto Youtube was a five-second, black and white film of a juggling clown and that now has over a billion views and the clown is a millionaire after selling advertising space.
As part of the Press Kit, some misguided twerp at the record label has included numerous favourable comments from other reviewers, one of which reads as follows-
“I hope you have a lot of incense and strong greenery at home because you’ll bloody need it to cope with this monster platter.”
Well I do have plenty of incense, I always keep incense at my home for relaxation purposes and also for when I’m listening to instrumental music because it helps me concentrate on the lyrics. I also use it to mask the stench when my grandma comes round and does one of her toxic shits. But what does he mean by “strong greenery”? Is he talking about the herbaceous borders in my garden? Maybe he’s looking beyond the herbaceous and recommending the planting of something from the rhododendron family. However, please remember that if you’re planting anything from this genus, their flowers can be harmful to certain grazing animals so be careful if you live on or near a farm.
Or maybe he’s a twit.
Anyway, you would do well to research the back catalogue of this band; their extraordinary, twenty-minute instrumental freak-out “Tropic of Capricorn” recalls some of the more immersive sequences on “Live Dead” which is the best live album recorded by anyone in the history of music.
Garcia would be proud.
