The End Springs
Home
The End Springs spins six-string patterns like spider webs, all quiet
bossa-nova wanderings and neo-Fahey dusty landscapes, spruced with poignant
sunrise/sunset delay and subtle sampled naturalism. Total tranquility
base.
(Not Not Fun Records)
The End Springs is my project of lo-fi recordings, mostly 1st takes
& with everything left in. Musical power improvisations that capture the
moment

RELEASE NOTES
Volume I is my first recording as The End Springs. Each ltd edition version
of Volume I comes with a fabric insert, which has an amusing saying sewn onto it
(each one features a different saying). There are 2 runs both limited to 20
copies. Both runs are now sold out.
Peace Paws is a split cassette (with The Wolf Tracks) which was released by
Not Not Fun Records in 2006. It features 7 of the 8 tracks found on Volume I.
Volume II is 5 tunes of racing trains, rough blues & folk dreams. The
perfect partner for Volume I.
I produced a special limited edition cdr of my collection of music - "The
Return of Things Too Beautiful". There were only 10 copies available & they
were only available from Tomentosa
Records. Each one featured different tiled packaging & a one-off
drawing. The only other place to find this collection (with 2 added bonus
tracks) will be via Ruralfaune
sometime in the future...
My collection of music entitled "The Cold Dirt Diaries" was released by Centre
of Wood. Limited to 50 copies, the collection is on a 3" cdr that is held
inside a little handmade diary of six pages with some original drawings by
myself...
Split cassette single with Donato
Epiro that is out now on Dust Wind Tales. Limited to 60 copies, the single is on
a white tape that's held inside a clear handpainted poly case & comes with a
small insert. Head over to the releases page & pick yourself up a copy...
LATEST MUSIC/RELEASES
"V/A: Vinyl Beards" - BSBTA Vinyl & A Beard of Snails Records (lp) (BSBTAVINYL6)
Eight awesome collaborative tracks from some of our favourite psych / folk / noise-underground people (Sea Zombies, We Wait for the Snow / throuRoof, Cones, Family Battle Snake / Sarah's Charity, Donato Epiro / Vanessa Rossetto, Shiggajon, The End Springs / A Man & A Guitar, Fabio Orsi / Valerio Cosi)..
This is an EPIC lp featuring a track that I collaborated on with A Man & A Guitar called "Dusty Train". The track features me on acoustic guitar & Bruno on homemade lapsteel. Totally improvised!
Check out the distro page & pick yourself up a copy before they all go....
"There Lies The Electric Reasons" - Reverb Worship (cdr) (RW024)
Usually The End Springs music is acoustic based. On this cdr you get
seven new
interpretations of songs played in a hazy psychedelic
electric style which
adds a new twist. The covers are stencilled in
fluorescent lime green on
purple paper. The cds are also hand
stencilled in a matching design. (Reverb Worship)
This is a collection of music I thought would never be released. Seven tunes of electric psychedelic fuzz & featuring the original versions of the 3 tracks found on "The Cold Dirt Diaries" (with slightly different titles). A departure from the usual End Springs sound but still sounding fresh & raw. A big thank you to Roger of Reverb
Worship for releasing &
believing in the collection....
