Alligator Crystal Moth is the trans-Pacific duo
of Brad Rose (the North Sea, Ajilvsga, the
Foxy Digitalis webzine/CD labels, etc.) and Michael Donnelly (Brothers of the
Occult Sisterhood, Terracid, the MusicYourMindWillLoveYou label, etc.), and
this is their third full-length collaboration. While previous works developed
as long-distance tape-trading deals, Bones
of the Great Divide was recorded in some epic in-person sessions last
summer in Oklahoma, & it's much free-er and looser than earlier ACM - tranced-out string-bend percussive rattle scatter'n'shake'n'drone,
all-acoustic ethnological forgeries from a landscape where the rainforest meets
the great plains. Two CDs, 11 tracks.
