STEVE VON TILL, SCOTT KELLY & WINO: Songs of Townes Van Zandt
CD and LP available now from the Neurot Recordings Store.
STEVE VON TILL, SCOTT KELLY & WINO Confirm Townes Van Zandt Tribute;
Album To See US Release Via Neurot In June
This June Neurot Recordings will issue a special three-way split CD in tribute to late American folk music hero Townes Van Zandt, bearing contributions from SCOTT KELLY (Neurosis, Shrinebuilder, Tribes of Neurot, solo artist, etc.), STEVE VON TILL (Neurosis, Tribes of Neurot, Harvestman, solo artist, etc.) and SCOTT “WINO” WEINRICH (Saint Vitus, The Obsessed, The Hidden Hand, Shrinebuilder, solo artist, etc.).
After having performed material by Van Zandt solo and through various collaborations on stage over recent years, on solo releases and on random live collaborations, the aptly entitled Songs of Townes Van Zandt brings several songs each from KELLY, VON TILL and WEINRICH together in praise of his deep musical influence on them all. Through a personal contact of the artists, newly-formed label My Proud Mountain was founded specially in order to release this tribute, with Neurot Recordings handling the North American release of the album on June 12th.
New sounds are being revealed to me.
Folk songs and sonic psych guitar landscapes are merging into one. I think Harvestman and my solo writings are becoming one, at least for now. Approaching with an open mind and seeing what will come of it. It feels right.

The Hawkwind Triad
The Triad is unique, as it is an album of covers by three separate artists that essentially flows like an album. Each band -- HARVESTMAN (Steve Von Till of NEUROSIS’ psych guitar based project), MINSK, and U.S. CHRISTMAS -- have approached these 11 iconic songs with respect, but each have also recognized the need for the songs to be reinterpreted in a new space and time. The result is a full-length psychedelic feast that not only captures the feel of Hawkwind’s individual songs, but also has the feel of their classic albums. Even the artwork by Boston artist Thomas Saraceno appropriately provides trippy surrealist scenes fitting to many albums from the 70s. Most of all, the Triad was done out of pure veneration for a band than laid a solid foundation for every heavy, trippy, weirdo band that exists now – as well as for those who will freak out in the future.
Harvestman Trinity
Harvestman "Trinity" CD has just been released and is now available through the NR Online Store. The 3rd official release from Steve Von Till's Harvestman project; a limited edition issue of the soundtrack to the Italian horror film h2Odio (English title Hate 2 O). An equally lush and beautiful, yet dark and disturbing backdrop to this psychological thriller, the Trinity album juxtaposes the beautiful remote island landscape with the tormented psyche and tension of the plot.
