MAXINE FUNKE - Silk LP punk ’ it’s hard to tell

’ it’s hard to tell whether one’s listening to an artifact from 1971 or one of the myriad collectives that rose from the ashes of freak-folk over 2009 … Pastor Barrett’s definitely a master composer who deserves wider recognition and study

The band for this record was Bill Tutton (contra-bass)

PLUS the original version of “Black Cloud Wandering”

The True Story of Bananagun then is perhaps a tale of finding beauty in even these most turbulent of times

” says singer / guitarist Jeremy Gaudet

MAXINE FUNKE - Silk LP punk ’ it’s hard to tell2019 repress, gold vinyl. Fantastic third LP by Maxine Funke, a New Zealand musician whose first recordings were with the legendary $100 Band (Funke, Alastair Galbraith, and Mike Dooley!), whose music was drifting experimental dust of a very high order. Maxine's first two solo albums, Lace (2008) and Felt (2012) (originally released as CDR on Galbraith's Next Best Way and a lathe on Epic Sweep, respectively), were reissued by Time Lag to great acclaim
