Black Tar Prophecies Vols. 4, 5, & 6

by Grails

supported by

supersonicscientist This is an album I keep turning to when I have to do conceptual work. It just gets me perfectly into a "think outside the box" mode

Glitzy Límon Grails is the ultimate indie avant-garde post-whatever band; grand in scale, emotional, melodic, rhythmic , experimental, unique yet familiar and above all, talented as fook. One of the best bands around today. Get the entire dicog now or be a skrub for life. Favorite track: Corridors Of Power III.

T G When you listen to Grails, you're on a journey. It's not a safe journey and it is full of darkness and sorcery.
Enter this world and be part of this magical bliss called music. Favorite track: A Mansion Has Many Rooms.

about

Following the release of their most acclaimed album of their decade-long career, Deep Politics (2011), Grails revisited Black Tar Prophecies, their ever-expanding, enigmatic tapestry of eclectic experiments released in scarce limited editions that often disappear before most fans discover their existence. Black Tar Prophecies Vol's 4, 5 & 6 collects the last three volumes in the Black Tar series, originally released as a limited-edition 12", and a split LP with Finish psych-rock phenoms, Pharaoh Overlord. Exclusive to this collection is Volume 6, three previously unreleased tracks that run the gamut from found-sound collage to moody, piano-driven soundtracks to obscure erotic horror films that never existed (but should have). Available on triple-gatefold CD Digipak or Deluxe Gatefold 2xLP, the vinyl features four mind-blowing laser etchings – one on each side of the record, beginning where the grooves of the music end. It's pretty, and pretty unbelievable.
