Shelly Blake -- Throat and Other Instruments
Review in POP MATTERS ( www.popmatters.com )
"Shelly Blake has never met a lo-fi demo or home recording that he hasn't liked. Now, after hundreds of songs recorded the last 10 years, he has decided to take these and compile them in a series of albums, with this one being the first. And it's certainly something that you will not feel indifferent about.... If you like Daniel Johnston, you'll love this."
Review in DEMOUNIVERSE ( www.demouniverse.com )
"What becomes a legend most? Released in 1995, Shelly Blake's first two cassettes, The Lonely Ornamental Music of Shelly Blake and Color Notation on the Sociopathway hit me like a shovel to the head.
↓ more ↓Largely recorded on an answering machine, they were not so much albums as open wounds, from which poured forth undiluted expressions of fear, loathing and, oh yes, love. Blake has made many recordings since, but it all started here. Both tapes are now out of print, but the best of this material is gathered here for your listening pleasure — or displeasure, as the case may be. Volume I has received some remarkably derisive reviews, each declaring these songs as, well, shit. Can't say I'm surprised. Ten years gone, this music is still too much for some people to handle."
