Way-underground Brooklyn label t.b.t.d. has whipped out a few recent, good-looking tapes in carboard art envelopes. One we heard is a real rock n roll monkey called Fly So High by The Shining Path, a duo comprised of Ilya Monosov and Preston Swirnoff. More known for their weirdo psyche minimalism as Monsov Swirnoff, documented heavily by Eclipse Records the last few years, here they get down to some confused and slippery boogie-spazz with the finer elements of Jap free spirit futurism informing the process. Fucking out there and great. Jazzed to hear their LP on Holy Mountain. -Thurston Moore & Byron Coley, Bull Tongue.
