Man Searching for Bigfoot Stumbles Upon Something Weirder: Matt Valentine in the Deep Woods of Vermont Having Tea with Thurston Moore, Michael Jackson, and Sasquatch; MV & EE Ready Barn Nova

As you might know just from hearing about them, MV & EE seem to have their own language, as most free-lovin' hippies do. If you don't pay close attention, you just might lose track of them and their many backing bands (The Bummer Road, The Golden Road, Medicine Show, etc.). MV & EE with The Golden Road will be releasing their new record, Barn Nova, on October 13 via Ecstatic Peace!.

The record was recorded in what MV calls "Spectrasound," using his production technique to "place tones dancing all around the stereo sound field." This time around, The Golden Road is made up of many key players, including J Mascis (Dinosaur Jr.) and Jeremy Earl (Woods)... plus some guys named Doc Dunn, Mike Smith, and Justin Pizzoferrato. As tends to happen, MV & EE "share a wealth of ideas including a serious reverence and desire to upgrade/expand the classic-rock idiom." Inspired by the likes of Jerry Garcia, John Cipollina, and Tom Verlaine, Matt Valentine displays an insatiable appetite for varying idioms with an eye on serious exploration and development. Meanwhile, Elder's harmony leads recall the glorious twinned guitar lines of Canned Heat's Al Wilson & Henry Vestine at their most potent.

This will be the group's millionth release, but the band's fourth major release for the Ecstatic Peace! label.
