AL LOVER

SAFE AS MILK REPLICA

In Honor of the late great Captain Beefheart, Al Lover presents his latest work 'Safe as Milk Replica', a distorted reworking on the amazing first LP by Captain Beefheart & his Magic Band. With each track sampled from a different song from the original record, Al Lover has created something all his own, a dusty, psychedelic, boom-bap journey into the past.

From the chunky, off kilter head nodding revision of "Zig Zag Wanderer", a fuzzed out drunken echo chamber of a track, to the driving exotic rhythms and erie 78 era phonographic tones of "Grown so Ugly", which sounds like an acid trip to the Middle East, 'Replica' throws Instrumental Hip Hop, Psych, Electric Blues & S.F. Garage, into a blender and force feeds you the Slop produced.

Created in one week of all nighters, heavy alcohol consumption, and paranoid reclusiveness the results are both gruesome and beautiful - drowned with delay, beat to death by distortion, and hung out to dry on a tambourine. A heavy cloud cover of sonic bombardment cut by thunderous crushing drums, the album is a hologram of the original seen through a shattered mirror reflecting into eternity.

Play it loud, and raise a toast to Don Van Vliet!

AL LOVER-REFLECTIVE FLESH CD AND ZINE

Limited edition CD, and zine from Al Lover of The Fist Fam.

100 hand numbered copies

This is the first official (if you could call it that) release from Reflective Flesh Records! The album, who's name inspired the label's existence is a single track mix of lo-fi instrumental, sample heavy weirdo beats produced by Al Lover of The Fist Fam. It's extremely DYI, an unmastered CD-R, packaged with a zine of collaged images printed at Kinkos, and a couple stickers. Who the fuck would want that? Hopefully you. The official release date is May 11th, and will be pretty hard to aquire. We'll see if any Stores will carry it.
