about

J Moss is a deeply authentic music maker. One of the most prolific recording projects I've heard of in recent memory, Modern Folk can be anything from fingerstyle acoustic guitar, to field recording laden soundscapes, to noisy spacious freak outs, to a free rock band full of friends. The latter is where this latest release from Moss and his group of Portland based friends called Modern Folk Trio Band falls. Always Be Recording ii is a spiritual sequel to the groups last release on Island House Recordings which is one of my favorite tapes of last year and it finds the group in a similar headspace. The group pulls from the ether elements of Krautrock as well as the free wheeling improv of old portland bands like Eternal Tapestry or Jackie o Motherfucker. Pulsing rhythms with psychedelic ideas coming and going along extended runtimes. Listening to Trio Band gives you a direct input to a core of the jam that never stops.

This is the first release of the Cosmic Bud Disc Series! A series of Experimental releases on CD! Check out the other two releases by Matthew Pepitone and Our Blue Heaven and pick up the full batch at a discount!

“Far be it for me to tell you what to do with your time and money, but I think you made good with both when purchasing the disc you hold in your hands. I know I felt like I made good, with my time at least, when about 9 months ago, a poorly shot snippet of video came across my timeline of some band, a bunch of scraggly dudes with cool guitars jamming in someone’s living room, and I clicked on it. Simple, droney, guitar lines wrapping around each other, congealing with some unidentifiable “sound” I couldn’t put a finger on (Later identified as a Shruti Box...thanks Josh).

A few traded Tweets later I was on Bandcamp purchasing the first of many records of the band I now know as The Modern Folk (Trio Band, Homeland Band, Ragtime Band...Pick a name). I heard guitars bouncing off each other, synths providing texture, and a steady rhythmic pulse providing a grounding for whatever These Modern Folk had in mind. I like guitars, I like synths, I LIKE THIS (!!!), but what I like most is the spirit. The spirit of a band with the onions to call itself THE MODERN FOLK and put a fucking synthesizer or a shruti box on a record, because this is music for people who relish the simple pleasure of playing. Playing with friends, playing off each other, and playing for themselves or others.
So have a seat, drop this in your CD player, and join these MODERN FOLK as they play for themselves, play for you, and play for the hell of it.”
- Blackwolf John Oates

Now to spin this and take flight. As a former card carrying member of jamband scene this would have fit nicely back in the late 60's-70's and the late 90's-00's when improvisational jams were king.
