Alison Faith Lewis & Mushroom: Yesterday I Saw You… cd

Laulaja San Franciscosta tekee yhteistyötä Mushroom-kollektiivin kanssa. Koko nimi on Yesterday I Saw You Kissing Tiny Flowers…(2007). Todellista postmodernia fuusiota. 1000 kpl painos.

”Mushroom is a musicians' collective based in the San Francisco Bay Area. The group's sound has been described as a "diverse and eclectic blend of jazz, space rock, R&B, electronic, ambient, Krautrock and folk music".”

”Space rock / psychedelic jazz groovers Mushroom join forces with singer/songwriter Alison Faith Levy, known for her own albums (with members of Camper Van Beethoven) and as a member of the Loud Family (featuring Scott Miller of Game Theory).

With Mushroom, Alison soars soulfully into another realm - that one reviewer described as "The Space Rock Eartha Kitt."

On their album "Yesterday, I Saw You Kissing Tiny Flowers" - Alison Faith Levy & Mushroom take you on a journey to the centre of your mind- led by Mushroom drummer and producer Pat Thomas.

From the Artist
On this new CD, Mushroom with it's ever expanding and changing line up includes:

Guitarist and vocalist (via his special megaphone) Josh Pollock - who has had the good fortune to collaborate with the likes of John Cale and Flea (both at the Patti Smith-curated Meltdown Festival in London), as well as Damo Suzuki, Kevin Ayers, and Gong mastermind Daevid Allen, with whom he's recorded the latest Gong album, plus five CDs with their band Daevid Allen's University Of Errors, and two CDs with that unholy hybrid of Gong and Japanese psych-terrorists Acid Mothers Temple, Acid Mothers Gong.

University of Error's bassist Michael Clare plays on several songs. When not playing percussion for Mushroom, Dave Mihaly can be found on stage and in the studio with country/folk star Jolie Holland.

On a couple of songs, Seth Augustus is featured on The Igil, a traditional Tuvan instrument.

Guitarist Tim Plowman recorded several albums for SST Records with his band Slovenly. Multi-instrumentalist Erik Pearson has most recently been working with Billy Talbot of (Neil Young and) Crazy Horse on Billy's solo project, while saxophonist and general handy man Ralph Carney spent much of his previous life as a member of Tom Waits band in-between sessions and gigs with Marc Ribot, Hal Wilner, the B-52's and Jonathan Richman.”
