Polyfox And The Union Of The Most Ghosts

Polyfox And The Union Of The Most Ghosts is a solo project of Nicholas French, who also plays in Crab Smasher, Brassskulls, etc.
This is his bio.

A fox wanders into a grey forest, the grey forest inspires in the fox heart the polychameleon elements of its fox circulatory system, lighting fires of forest greens through its fox fur. This causes splinters of fox colour to shoot like arrows from the tips of the fox fur printing the surrounding forest in fox colours. Mini and big fox alike become lost in the fox foliage. The whole grey forest is as though it is wearing a fox fur coat. Fox forest foxes become lost in their new fox environment unable to differentiate fox from forest. The ghosts of the forest wonder why their habitat appears as an immense fox. The forest spirit (which is the forest green) was only visible to ghosts and now is the embodiment of polyfox, and can only be enjoyed in a forest coloured fox shape moving in fox motions around an enormous fox forest.
the music is intended as accompaniment to this story and can be described as simple pop music created with a guitar, a keyboard and a loop station :)

He is launching his debut cassette The Union Of The Most Ghosts this Thursday September 4 at the Lass O'Gowrie Hotel in Newcastle, with Luke Hoskins and The (Temperamental) Pocket.
The cassette is out through Monstera Deliciosa. Buy one!

eyeoftherobots  said about 10 months ago:

I think this one is just a CDR, not really sure.


alpsofmessandnoise  said about 10 months ago:

eyeoftherobots  said about 9 months ago:

This (album) was going to be released at some point last year as a split with the Harpy Choir (QLD) though due to various circumstances never happened.
It was recorded on a broken 4 track that was essentially a 3 track when I was attempting to use it.Most of the tracks were recorded at my house in Umina except for '50 years of pens' which was recorded on my cousin's piano in Brisbane and 'Digital sunbeam' which was recorded in Newcastle. The latter was more of an experiment in recording levels than a song and was never really intended to be included on the split. The Weather was also never really intended to be on the split and an older version appears on the 'Paintbat flies into carrot fields' collection. These songs will both be included here as 'flesher-out-erers' or indispensable additions to the character and fullness of this album.
Also worth mentioning is that if you are at all familiar with what Polyfox is doing now, you might be astonished to find that this sounds like some dude recorded it alone in his bedroom with his clothes all in loose piles and his CDs all in their wrong cases and not like the 'rock' band you saw at the Croat. This is because these recordings pre date the band and pretty much serve to give the listener an idea of what happened in between the dreamier/stoneder Polyfox of 2008 and the what it seems to be now. If you are unfamiliar with what Polyfox are doing now then you may disregard this paragraph completely.
One last thing: A label called 'Unique Beautiful Flowers' has put this out and have physical copies available for those interested in tangible items. It is 'UBF007'

The Garden Of Cracking Stockwhips is out now. Listen to it here
