The Maple Forum Update: 23 Copies Left of Blackwolfgoat’s Dronolith
I’ve been reading some of the reviews coming in of Dronolith, the second album by Blackwolfgoat and third release from The Maple Forum, and it seems like, for the most part, people are getting what the record is about. The progressive and Krautrock influences are noted in just about all of them, and the overall response is pretty positive. Thanks to everyone who’s written so far (among them Heavy Metal Time Machine, Sea of Tranquility and the venerable souls at Doommantia) and everyone who’s planning to.
Thanks even more to everyone who’s bought the record and checked in with a response about it. I’m dig it and I’m glad you do too. It’s definitely something different, and I was a bit worried about how it might go over, but it looks like everybody who wants to be is on board. More than I can ask for, really.
As of today, I have 23 copies left of Dronolith, which you can buy using the Paypal button above or at the Maple Forum store on BigCartel. If you haven’t gotten one yet, please consider this humble advice to do so before they’re gone. For Darryl Shepard‘s expansive soundscapes and the beautiful Alexander Von Wieding artwork, it’s not to be missed, and once it’s sold out, that’s it. We only pressed 100.
If you’re in NYC or somewhere thereabouts, make sure you hit up Lit Lounge on June 27, where Darryl will be gracing the stage as part of the ongoing Precious Metal series headed by Curran Reynolds of Wetnurse/Today is the Day. As the room downstairs at Lit is essentially a low-ceiling cave, it should be the perfect setting for Blackwolfgoat‘s encompassing wall of sound. Expect volume in voluminous doses.
