Keef Apes are excellent at psych chill when they want to be. Favorite track: Blood Knot.

E'sPsychedelicBreakfast I finally felt like getting this album right after pre-ordering 'Soy Dios'. Still don't know why I didn't let the Dead Sea Apes in my Bandcamp collection earlier. Such a hidden gem of music, just like any song/album of them so far. Favorite track: Pharmakon.

Terrific album,this;atmospheric,moody and slowly unravelling; Dead Sea Apes remind me a bit of Guapo and Earth in their approach (that's a big compliment as far as i'm concerned)...unpretentious, genuinely explorative and a little bit portentous...just right!

ProgHog231 Interesting ambient, post-rock album that is perfect when you have time to listen to some quieter music that unwinds slowly. Good headphones recommended. Favorite track: Wolf Of The Bees.

about

Cardinal Fuzz are pleased to announce that this ghostly classic is getting a vinyl release. Originally a CD-R on the great Deep Water Acres label, Lupus is released as double LP in a gatefold sleeve with new artwork.

Dead Sea Apes are a Manchester-based trio with a big, dark sound that incorporates everything from space to drone to dub in its ambitious instrumental rockscapes. Given that these boys hail from the heartland of the Industrial Revolution in Manchester, it sounds like they have been spending far too much time in dark woodland forests.

Lupus is the band’s first full-length album, following two EPs on their own Soul Desert Records. Compared with the muscular mini-epics on those releases, Lupus seems to emanate from a more ghostly dubbed-out post-punk/kraut aesthetic. Lupus is at once meditative, elliptical and mysterious.

Lupus began to take shape in August 2011 as an experiment in improvising over drones and loops, followed by various amounts of editing and further recording, methodology inspired by their heroes Can. The immersive results range from ambient cloud to massive crunch via elliptical extended rhythms and creeping effects, all shot through with a hovering ominous presence.
