The Gaslamp Killer - It’s a Rocky Road Vol. 2

I chillayed…plugged in…and shoveled 8” of blizzard.

Resident Low End Theory dj and master podcaster, Gaslamp Killer, uses a formula that packs in music of decades passed into a crème de la crème 60 minutes long mix. Killer, known fondly as Willie Bensussen, is of the breed that scours record shops and car boots for obscure vinyls that none of us know of, but we all wish we did. GLK’s minutes include everything from 60s psych and dusty folk ballads to soul samples and space jazz.

No tracklist. None necessary.

Take the sorrow of Elliot Smith’s vocals, add to that Tunng’s wicked guitar display on ‘Fair Doreen’ and mix that with Fink’s drum reverb in ‘Trouble’s What You’re In’ - and you have the layered sounds of M. Craft on his debut, Silver and Fire.

In 2006 Martin Craft finally released his album, and unfortunately (as my most sincere efforts have proven) has fallen off the grid since. His myspace page has become a wasteland for ringtone and iphone application ads, his domain name (mcraft.co.uk) may be for sale, and he is no longer listed as chum on 679 Records (who is also home to The Streets).
