The Vévé Seashore (US, Kraut with Acid Folk)

 THE VÉVÉ SEASHORE were a twin combo from New Orleans formed by Elroy OVERSEX and Lord FUCΚ. It's said they've released their debut vinyl "Seven Years Of Gulliver"
in 2007, that has been sold out soon and thought as a phantom album.
Finally in 2011 Dying For Bad Music label released this immersible
album as a digitally downloadable form. I've got the promo copy of this
album through the courtesy of Dying For Bad Music, and enough
understood the reason their "unknown" album could be sold out at once. 

Absolutely fantasia blended with sweet folk and electronic infernal
dizziness ... from the very beginning track "Bitter Advice" we can find
dark & hard-touchable electronic inferno, plus, dreamy &
hypnotic acid folk (oh, just like the Japanese acid folk pioneer The
Folk Crusaders!) following that. Another folk strategy can be found in
the second short one "Lamb With Claws" or the next "Marbles On The
Stairs", with electric voice effect and freak-out synthesizer-based
sunburn on the background. Oh yes, very eccentric guitar rampancy in
the end of "Lamb ..." is also addictive, and the latter of "Marbles ...
" is exactly psychedelic brainwash shower. Just via such songs like
those, let me say, can dig up Krautrock-flavoured Acid Folk.

Seven Years Of Gulliver (2007, reissued as a freely downloadable album in 2011) - THE VÉVÉ SEASHORE

"Hookfish" is a delightful folk song that has already been distributed
as a freely downloadable material upon their Dying For Bad Music
website. However even this fantastic folk cannot be typical one ...
around it pretty (and somewhat kitty-tasted) voices, mad organ sounds,
and the very last electro-ice stumblin' over. Guess they should never
complete everything along with typical stream, and we can be immersed
into this strange novel attitude via their tunes. Actually, "Ein
Umgestürzter Hafen" is my favourite song in this album. Very growlin'
and rumblin' infernal psychedelia, under an unpredictable noise &
sound storyteller ... want you to let me consider this is an undoubted
masterpiece, to be honest. Wonder why they could show us such a
tremendous atmosphere through their psychedelic launcher. On the
contrary, another delightful and enjoyable folk has come here - "A Cup
Of Coffee For Your Fears" -
 this song title and lyrics are very
cynical though. Take a rest with a cup of coffee under such a simple
folk ... it's a wonderful day & night. :)

 And from the
following stage "Seven Years Suite" get started. Drone acid folk with
sharp-edged electronic maneuver and terrible bubbling mud, bright &
fine acoustic cool wind under an electric bird song (a bit keenly
crazy) or a twittering gnome ... the fourth part "Seven Inch Script
III" is another personality of them methinks. Sweetness, madness,
deepness, shallowness ... intertwined with each other. This suite has
no break in it, and we can listen without breathing really. The last
"I'm A Full Cloud" reminds me a Japanese noise violence
 Hanatarash
... the middle noisy part is a bit boring, but upon the last folk one
(and "I feel so useless" lyrics) why cannot I weep gently? Psychedelic
and garagey scrubbing kicks, gentle and hearty folk cotton fields ...
various gems are around them and their album indeed. Totally what a
splendid Kraut-ish Acid Folk stuff.

 How wonderful and fascinating this bulky gap between sweetness and madness is ...
