BLACK MAGIC & MUSTACHE AVAILABLE AT WALL OF SOUND RECORDS in SEATTLE. THEIR REVIEW:
Simon Henneman / Black Magic & Mustache [Self Released CDR] This is awesome. Starting with a Third Man Theme type of vibe Henneman scoops us up and takes us for a wild ride through his cinematic sound world and then drops us off safely back where we started. This disc will work well for fans of David Lynchian noir, Pharaoh Sanders and Alice Coltrane deep grooves and wicked guitar playing. Henneman plays all the instruments and weaves a well told story that will have you coming back for more. We cannot recommend this enough. Available exclusively at WoS.
