The Spookfish - Pumpkin Beats 2

A warm summer night, the fairgrounds are packed with a menagerie of curious souls. Noise and commotion arriving in waves, like the faintest breeze giving a quench of relief from crowded spaces. As with most of these traveling venues, a mystery house sits alone with some unseen aura pushing back those walking by. The entrance of course is an open mouth, a sinister looking toothy gargoyle. Adults glance over with stalwart stairs, knowing they are to old to be frightened. Children on the other hand scurry past, peripheral vision used as a shield from the terrifying unknown. The Spookfish takes the hand of the listener and leads them through the threshold.

Warbled beats break through the waters surface. Like an ocean liners last fanfare before resting under a blanket of pressure. Life rafts float as the sea swells in all directions. Reminiscent of a broken pipe organ struggling to sustain a single note, wavering in some nauseous turbulent way. Pumpkin Beats 2 radiates sentiment all the while, the sun behind a cloud creating a mysterious symbiosis adding warmth to a world in flaking corrosive sonic decay. The Spookfish takes on many guises. Melodies and styles exposed from decades past, then pushing sonic thresholds into crevices yet to be formed by aural erosion.

Released on Lily Tapes & Discs in an edition of seventy five. The first Pumpkin Beats is available from The Spookfish bandcamp page in digital form. Copies Pumpkin Beats 2 are currently available from Lily Tapes & Discs.
