Levántate (2005) and El orden y el caos (2006)

PEACH 777 colored vinyl

dreamy feel with its chief sonic officers backed by fellow travelers Will Carruthers

while "Rock Post Rock" is (despite its title) a reasonably straightforward fuzzy pop song

it's the piercing chimes of guitar and marching drum grind of "Prole Art Threat" that elevates Slates beyond oddity

CATH & PHIL TYLER - The Ox and The Ax LP Death Punk Levántate (2005) and El ordenCath and Phil Tyler are a pair of lovely folkies from Newcastle Upon Tyne (though Cath originally hails from Massachusetts where she played in Cordelia's Dad). This is their third album and their first in eight years. Here they further explore their love of traditional songcraft, mountain banjo and Sacred harp singing.
