HW: Adrian Shaw & Rod Goodway

[Ian Abrahams]

Just received from Ade, a copy of Adrian Shaw & Rod Goodway's new album, 'Oxygen Thieves', released on Germany's September Gurls Records, which will be of interest to list members I think!

Says the label's website (www.septembergurlsrecords.com):

"New album by Adrian Shaw & Rod Goodway, which came about by two old friends getting together and making some music just to see what 'develops'. Adrian wrote and recorded all the music and Rod wrote and sang all the lyrics. Recorded at Ade's home studio between May 2008 and February 2009. "Oxygen Thieves" features fabulous progressive, psychedelic recordings, the emphasis alternately shifting from acid/space rock to blues, folk and beyond. 
A sitar-saturated magic carpet ride in Saddar Bazaar vein will open your mind; rootsy psych-blues echoing Capt. Beefheart will transfer you to the right place. M esmerizing heavy psych rock takes you through the looking glass into a surreal dreamzone. You will navigate through mellow folk, guitar magic in best Bevis Frond art, "Tomorrow never knows" Beatle-esque playfulness, fuzz loaden, melodic progressive psychedelia recalling the Smell of Incense/High Tide/Caravan. All richly and elaborately instrumented by Ade, while Rustic Rod's vocals remain singular yet versatile. "
