"Summer Rain / Wolf Mountain" is Fuck Buddies' first cassette
release. You may have heard him previously on one of his 8 (9?) CDR
releases for Dead Bees Records and Cachalot Midinette. If not, he's a
singer songwriter. "It's all i have to say about that", he told us. He
really likes Bill Callahan, Arab Strap, Elliott Smith and Xiu Xiu, for
whom he has opened. His music has been described as "bleak" but
"heartwrenchingly sincere" and works as a fascinating therapeutic tool
/exorcising device. The music on this release was done with the Korg software for the Nintendo DS
and it sounds cold, synth-ish and softly threatening. Both songs were
recorded in 2009 which was, according to him, "mostly a bad year." He
told us: "Summer Rain is about a recurring dream, Wolf Mountain is about
giving up."
