Holzkopf Sober Materials #1 (Self Released) Vancouver, BC ::web/sounds:: |
From the closeted-bourgeoise life-stylings of Aaron Levin:
I once thought it would be incredibly ingenious to put Holzkopf in a box and carry him around with me. His adorable ponytails popping out of my JanSport backpack as I dithered about my daily duties (pretentious white-man stuff like buying whole-wheat bagels and reading Trotsky). And then, when things go awry in my white-picket-world, out pops Holzkopf with his busted drum machine, hand-manipulated Walkman, karaoke microphone, and array of pedals, ready to pulverize whatever gentrified fear stands before me. But! Now that Holzkopf has compiled his improvised dungeon dancery onto a CDR, I can get down to his body-destroying beats without leaving my suburb. Holzkopf’s sound and performance are unparalleled in North America (please to find me another pedal-mashing drum-machine hooligan), so we at Weird Canada are happy to celebrate any record documenting Holzkopf’s strange travels. Tracks on this disc were compiled from Holzkopf’s European tour and a few vinyl and cdr releases (on the labels: Little Fury Things, Wintage, and Panospria). Let the shredding begin!

i whole heartedly agree with this. having met Holzkopf, and had the pleasure of playing a gig with him, i can never return to the old world.
the only band/artist i can find that even remotely comes to close to the beautiful wonders of Holzkopf comes from Belgium. she/they go by the name of MIACIS. More pedal mashing, drum machine, added guitar soundscapes. http://www.myspace.com/lemiacis
I love that vinyl’s “back” too…
