Running time: 31:48

Personnel: Andrew McGregor

TRACK LISTING:

  1. Of You
  2. Tides

This is the first non-Oklahoma related release on Maritime Fist Glee Club, and it's quite a doozy. Andrew McGregor aka Gown hails from Vancouver Island lays down a killer guitar meandering that both wraps your head in gauze and melts your heart. Folky, repetitive, drony... all manners of goodness with tibetan bowls and a rich voice not saying or singing words so much.

Limited to 100.

Posted and reviewed by Brad Rose at Foxy Digitalis (December 2005):

Gown is the solo guise of Nanaimo native, Andrew MacGregor. I first became aware of his recordings earlier this year when he went on a trek from British Columbia to Western Mass with his partner, Christina Carter. MacGregor and Carter did a lot of duo sets during that tour, and it makes sense. Gown traverses similar territory as Carter on her solo releases - fractured, emotive guitars and distant, bellowing vocals. It's a good combination.
"For You" Dream #7

Reviewed in Dream Magazine #7:

This CDR release features two extensive tracks constructed from layers of sublimely mystified acoustic guitar, bells, chimes, and moaning male vocals. If a fairly well-adjusted ghost were to make music, it might sound like this. The second track features words and sounds a bit like a slow motion version of Six Organs of Admittance.
