recorded live to tape in two days, after a sleep deprived month of beefheart style creative lockdown, begushkin – dan smith’s 8 headed hydra – lay to rest the twilight folk of 2007s nightly things and reemerge with the wicked & strange hard rock gypsy shake of king’s curse. smith yells and carries on like a man posessed with tales of the damnation of a robber king and the band plays it ultra tight & ultra heavy. king’s curse is higher tier creep rock…. ‘at times like an impossible mixing of leonard cohen, will oldham, and michael gira stirring up a series of haunted gypsy hymns. mournful and melodic with half-seen shadows walking through the trees at night, and fever dreams swooning in the moonlight. mysterious like lyrically compressed american gothic short stories.’ george parsons, dream… 180gm limited vinyl version.
