I first came across Castle Oldchair in Oregon on one of my tours, and he was he an exceedingly nice gentleman. He had already built a pretty comprehensive mystic around him, and put out an underappreciated but excellent record on Standard Recordings. It was the backing soundtrack to my mornings working as a maintenance man back in 2004, collecting fix-it tickets that I would eventually get to midday.
As far as I can tell, Castle Oldchair only put out one record. Here are two tracks from it.
Swallowing Stars
Speaking of Diamonds
hahahaa...a lot like the maintenance department where i work, god love 'em.... I really like this.
ReplyDeleteCool to see a post about Xxiawn Shell here! He is still recording and performing music. Sometimes under the name Japatucky (http://www.myspace.com/japatucky), he released another album as Castle Oldchair called "Newborn Slime", which is awesome and way different. It can be found on his half of a split with Kid Primitive (http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=26276803&blogId=526653468). Also, here's an amazing live collab with Kid Prim (http://cllct.com/release/losingmymind).
