about

Fresh off their April cassette, Meadow Argus returns with "III," 34 minutes of tape manipulation soundscapes in an arrid region that was once a lush forest. Tape loops made from field recordings collected in Summer 2009 while on a freight trainhopping journey up & down the west coast. Backwards metallic drum circles unspool into industrial muck of monsters struggling. There is no water in the fountain but that doesn't stop the mirage. Side A contains eight shorter songs taking Meadow Argus in a new direction, while Side B is a longform piece similar in feel to their previous cassette "II" and should be considered part of the same universe being built.

Meadow Argus is the solo project of Tynan Krakoff, based in Columbus, Ohio.

Named #150 on Tabs Out's Top Tapes of 2021! www.tabsout.com?p=26299

The Answer Is In the Beat:
"The first side of this tape consists of eight brief tracks based on a microcassette recording made in 2009. A voice is captured, slowed down, stretched out, and muddied so that it sounds like a hideous ghoul-monster hybrid emerging from a swamp and trying to blurt out whatever message it has to say to the unsuspecting, terrorized human who happens to be witnessing this frightful being. The tape is constantly rewound, producing skidding, screeching noises, and on some of the tracks, the voice isn’t the main focus, so it’s just eerie ambient noises and buzzes looped and transmogrified. A few details that seem inconsequential are constantly returned to, making you feel like you must be missing something and should be focusing harder. It hits on a particularly inspired bit of mania at the end, when the severely disturbed voice says something like “I’ll die on my own”. Second side is called “There Is A Fountain”, and it pairs tape manipulations with shivering, creaky keyboards, with occasional interference bleeding through. Voices faintly appear in brief flashes, and while they aren’t as ghastly as on the first side of the tape, their presence is still disarming." theanswerisinthebeat.net/2021/10/24/meadow-argus-meadow-argus-iii-tape-purple-akronym-2021/

Evening on Earth
by Colonial Skyway

supported by 20 fans who also own “Meadow Argus III”

This is brooding & menacing. It has a radio waves, broken transmission feel to. The featured machines haven't neccesarily taken over, but they're inescapable. Waiting. Watching. Especially love Fairway. It sounds like the ocean - but this is the waters swirling around Fang Rock, in the middle of the night. There's danger afoot. Beautiful stuff. knightd68

Along the Wind Spear
by survey channel

supported by 19 fans who also own “Meadow Argus III”

Along the Wind Spear is a mystical journey of atmospheric melodies that float in a coat of nostalgic sheen. It is poetry via found 70's summer camp polaroids via distorted washes of detuned synths. Although not a Boards Of Canada copyist, Survey Channel is the kind of artist you want to seek out while BoC takes another ten years to come up with a follow up album. fran3000
