Oaken Palace presents two different Phurpa recordings, immense ritual sessions which
in total run for over three hours. These releases together comprise a staggering dark
mass of ritual drone, austere but richly dense, relentless but profoundly meditative.
The double vinyl album Sacred Sound 18.12.16 is a beautiful tapestry of ancient sounds,
with varied passages of communal vocals complemented with singing bowl, rattle and
traditional drums, over the faint organic hum of the ritual space.

Irish instrumental psych-folkers Woven Skull return with a self-titled piece for
Birmingham’s Oaken Palace. This particular deal with the environmentalist label is
dedicated to the Eurasian red squirrel, which faces extinction in the UK and Ireland
within a decade. Fab droning, minimal improvised excursions into bucolic expressions
and slightly dreary tensions.

OAK 16 VIBRACATHEDRAL ORCHESTRA : SQUEEZE THE LIDS THROUGH LP 09.2019
COMING WINDOW
01. SQUEEZE THE LIDS (18:30)
02. THROUGH COMING WINDOW (20:00)
A piercing hum awakens alien skreeks and insect antennae and fluttering seedpod drifts
and curled leaf wails. reedy twirlings dance above organic-machine wheeling thuds.
hopping whistles accompany descending klangs, producing a rushing stasis, a clattering
bliss, a reverential noise. Vibracathedral Orchestras trademark levitation drone
returns to earth to offer two sidelong utopias, a revolving array of instruments
selected in turn by the musicians, each inventing utterly distinctive lines of their
own which nevertheless weave together rafts of joyous collective racket. New elements
sometimes emerge discordantly but are folded into a diverse whole, each new plateau
constructing itself from scraps then dissolving into raw sonic material for new
configurations. Radical collective drone improvisation.

OAK 020 BOMBAY LUNATIC ASYLUM : MAD SONG LP+DLc 03.2021
A The Mental Traveller 18:45
B1 Ancient Times 14:01
B2 Mad Song 2:22
Louise Landes Levi – sarangi, voice
Bart De Paepe – harmonium
Koen Vandenhoudt – sarangi, shruti box
Artwork by Lauren O’Connor
Ed. of 300 copies on transl.-orange vinyl.
Oaken Palace Records is excited to present its 20th release, a sonic journey to the
roots of drone music, performed by Bombay Lunatic Asylum. The musicians behind this
name are no others than Louise Landes Levi and Bart De Paepe, who already played
together on Ikiru (OAK-013), our fastest selling release so far. On Mad Song, they
are joined by Koen Vandenhoudt, who also recorded the album. De Paepes harmonium and
Vandenhoudts shruti box form the perfect backdrop for Levis melancholic, haunting
sarangi melodies, slowly evolving and meandering over the albums thirtyfive minutes.
On Mad Songs last track, Levi replaces the sarangi with her no less impressive voice
and finishes the album with a beautiful rendition of Blakes poem of the same title.
