Description

Hive Mind Records offer this generous helping ofWet Tunawith their signature deeply fried rural psychedelia.Matt Valentine(MV) andPat Gubler(PG Six) have been jamming together since the mid ’90s, floating around in the US psych-folk scene, playing together in Tower Recordings and separately with influential underground crewsWoods,The Golden Road,Garcia Peoples, andThe Weeping Bong Band. Both MV and PG Six have been prolific with their solo work and over the years they’ve recorded for labels such as Ecstatic Peace, Drag City, Woodsist, 3 Lobed, and Crash Symbols. On these recordings, made during the first months of the COVID lockdowns in the forests of the Vermont wilderness, MV and PG Six handle the guitars and synths but they’re joined by fellow forest freaksS. Freyer Esq,Jim Bliss,Coot Moon, andCarson “Smokehound” Arnoldon bass and drums. Brought to you in their patented mind-expanding spectrasound,Eau’d To A Fake Bookie Volumes 1 & 2delivers an irresistible gumbo of deep, cosmic psychedelia, primitive drum-machine grooves and woozy country-funk jams. These six songs are cover versions of artists as diverse asThe Blackbyrds,Michael HurleyandJimmy Cliff, but stretched out over four sides, the album is entirely Wet Tuna — loose, free-flowing and lots of fun!
