Track List
Acid bass, slow funk and cosmic energy make for a mind expanding trip in the Liquid Canoe.
Load up on edibles, make it a macro-dose and let the music lead the way.
Whether you’re hard at work on a Hamburg allotment, basking in the heat of a Balinese beach or enjoying the cool waters of the Salish Sea, remember that the same sky stretches over all of us.
And if you forget your finger for a minute and soak in the heavenly beauty instead, you might just catch the cosmic vibrations of Liquid Canoe, the latest members of the Growing Bin family.
A loose ensemble, Liquid Canoe is the brainchild of Wolfgang Matthes, a lost Angelino who’s swapped the rush and push of a mega city for the space of the Pacific Northwest - and listening to this eight track offering, you’ll realise that space is the place. Armed with an array of vintage synths and programmed rhythms, Wolfgang sketched out a slew of inter dimensional transmissions, inspired by the commune electronics and space rock of 70s Germany and inhabited by the spirit of the boogie. Inviting friends to drop by and lend their own instrumental skill, Wolfgang quickly turned Liquid Canoe into a true collaboration. Finalised in a converted stable on Galiano Island, the LP is a perfect marriage of the electronic and organic, shimmering arps and spheric synth bass intertwined with American primitive guitar, nuanced hand percussion and glassy chimes. As this mind expanding collection stretches out towards infinity, you’ll hear Floyd-ian funk, cosmic dub, tangerine daydreams and micro-dosed ambience, all imbued with the memories of New York lofts, Bay Area warehouses, skyscraping pines or the world wide web of fungi. Liquid Canoe taking you on an oarsome trip.

〈MUSIC FROM MEMORY〉辺りとも共鳴して、ポスト・パレアリック、アンビエント、スローグルーヴ、素晴らしいラインナップをリリースしてきたハンブルグのBAASO主宰の〈GROWING BIN RECORDS〉から、オススメの一枚。20年間カリフォルニアに暮らし、現在はヒッピーたちも暮らしているという、カナダBC、バンクーバー沖の島、ガリアノ島で暮らすWOLFGANG MATTHESのプロジェクトLIQUID CANOE。WOLFGANGのシンセサイザーを中心に、ギタリストやドラム、シンセベース等によるバンドスタイルでの録音。エレクトロニック・スローハウス、アンビエント、、ブリスフルなサウンドトリップ。じっくり描かれている世界が素晴らしい。名盤誕生。 (サイトウ)
