Description
Carl Erdmann's Bizzarrophytes was recorded in Roswell, New Mexico, during the final years of the 70's - A desert-fried haze of buzzing sitar raga, shimmering guitar soli, and lonesome instrumental psych. Erdmann had been galvanized several years prior by witnessing an intimate performance by Ravi Shankar at Austin's University of Texas. Erdmann spent the next several years with a sitar in the back of his pickup truck - teaching himself the instrument between stints working on an oil field as a geologist.
Bizarrophytes was released in a miniscule private press run, financed and distributed by Erdmann himself. Most copies didn't make it out of the southwest. And it has remained woefully hard to find until now. The disparate sounds of Erdmann's experimentation hang together as a beautifully cohesive tapestry of home-brewed psychedelic folk. A menagerie of eclectic instrumental experimentation, baked in the desert sun, and captured to tape. Morning Trip Records is proud to present Bizzarrophytes.
