Goosewind returned to Shrimper after a near thirty year absence with the 2022 release of their limited Grateful 4 the Time We Share cassette release. On April 19th, their brand new record will be issued on CD & digitally as they continue to buck the trends and put out music on the format that whispers for it. And holy shit does this new record of theirs ever whisper, And moan. And howl.

On The Miracle of Tape, which was in fact recorded on analog reel to reel tape purchased from their pals Sonic Youth (who have been selling off the shackles of this planet that they no longer need), the band has put together a record that traverses all of the outskirts of the sound world they are known for, and then some. The thing spins like a reborn Dracula sewn together with dental floss, whirling in the midday sun on a boom box with an errant antenna picking up commercials, odes, funereal fugues, synth pop skeletons and haunted Cadillac exhaust. Preorders are ongoing at the link above, the record hits April 19th.

We have worked together for years, Goosewind and me, punching the time card as we hid the crypt, keeping it all hush hush, to spoil no alerts from our landline graveyard. Our teeth in the long are planning to keep it that way. The mirror has cracked, and the future is that reedy weed taunting your reach. Go ahead, grab that baby by its little hairs, Pull it out out of the rain of glass and ride it to negative infinity.
