Greg Malcolm Album Release

Entry
$10 presales
Body

With Tapioca Dragon


One of Aoteroa’s most articulate experimental guitarists, Greg Malcolm’s new album ‘Just Like Jim’ sees him committing to a 1950s Hofner archtop guitar he inherited from his late grandfather, Jim Spence.

In a stripped-back sonic setting Greg fuses his long-running interests in traditional rembetika and klezmer music with memories of his grandfather’s interests in ‘ham’ radio while taking the restored guitar to its outer limits.

Recorded live by Jeff Henderson at the Audio Foundation, this bespoke 12-inch vinyl release comes packaged in a hand screen-printed cover with a large format booklet containing essays and notes by Bruce Russell and Greg Malcolm. Designed and printed by Luke Wood at the Ilam Press in a limited edition of 150 (numbered) copies.

 

Tapioca Dragon: Mark Williams (guitar) Andy Wright (drums)
