Zomes – Cave Mountain Stream
Biography
For Zomes’ self-titled 2008 debut, Asa strung together a number of misshapen lo-fi loops and miniatures across an album that references Vincent Gallo-style rundown melancholy, stargazing kraut rock, and a selection of organ-driven passages that bring to mind a miniaturized Religious Knives. Osborne is at his best on pieces like ‘Night Signs’, a beautiful, hiss-coated guitar phrase, repeated in a sombre, ambiguous fashion over a couple of minutes. It makes no associations or attempts at narrative, but there’s undoubtedly something quite moving embedded within its diminutive frame. Elsewhere Osborne gets rocking a little harder, marrying overdriven chord sequences with rowdy, furniture bashing beats on the likes of ‘Crowning Orbs’ and the progged up ‘All Together’.
“Earth Grid,” Zomes’ second LP, came out in 2011.

Earth Grid sounds like a collection of backing tracks to Lungfish cuts.

earth grid is almost as lo-fi as that kylie minoise cd i have that is the audio of a video shot on a shit mobile phone. nearly but not quite. and as such i have to say it sounds rather amatuerish.

According to the Holy Mountain website, Asa didn't punch Keith Levine in the face, he "witnessed a fight with Keith Levine as one of the combatants." That said, he did still keep the tooth and use it as a guitar pick. It's funny, whilst I find the idea of him using a tooth as a pick totally believable, I can't imagine someone whose riffs and melodies are so zen punching anyone in the face, even Keith Levine.
