CARLTON MELTON - Live Hebden Bridge & Enschede 2023 LP (colour vinyl)

Limited edition of 250 copies on red colour vinyl.

Highly recommended.

As Carlton Melton celebrate 17 years together and Was Ist Das? 20 years of existence, they finally come together for an LP, only 13 years since they first worked together on the Hebden Bridge show on their 2012 European tour.

This LP cherry picks the sonic highlights of the bands 2023 European tour, drawing from deep sets in Enschede, Holland and Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire.

Opening with a freewheeling, lysergic "Smoke Drip" before hammering down for a raging take on "March of the Cicadas" which seems to throb with more bass than ever. You can tell the room must have heated up during that one.

Flip to side 2 and we have "Vanquished" from their latest album. The gloves are off and the shredding is off the Richter scale. It all ends with the Jimi Hendrix joins Neu! headmangler that is "Prescribed Skies" just to leave you floored and wanting more. I know I was. We really must do this again sometime soon!
