hello!
First up will most likely be the fabled GLASS GOBLINS disc recorded in Echo Park, Los Angeles, in 2011, featuring WoodyFrank on 2nd guitar, Simon Thomsen on drums. Evan Strauss & myself played bass on various tracks. Andrew Bush engineered the basic tracks. & here's the first shot across the bow, a version of YOUR HOUSE OF CARDS featuring PAUL JOHNSON on lead vocal..
I felt like this EP needed a remix & a remaster so I gave it one. Sheridan Riley on the drums, I played & sang everything else & wrote the tunes. Ian McKagan recorded the basic tracks in Widdershins basement. Enjoy!
SLEARP is temporarily FREE MUSIC, because your need for chill times in this age of the completely-fucked-up, greatly outweighs my need for compensation. This music was recorded in time to my breath. May it slow yours & gently allow you a slight peace of mind.

Astrol Waters Trip City Revisited, a collection of remixes of an album that doesn't exist. Culled from the second half of Astrol Water's album session at Seattle's Soundhouse with the unambiguously amazing Jack Endino, then filtered through my melted plastic brain. Stirred in some sage & some coffee grounds, cinnamon & sugaree & nutmeg & cider vinegar & a hint of peanut butter & banana. Thrice blessed. Blow up yer cranium with this joyous lozenge.

The musician known as 5-Track has released a surprising array of music, in styles ranging from rock&roll to acoustic singer-songwriter to gnarly electric guitar noise, mellow freejazz & meditation music, & more. He has played twisted country-rock in Joshua Tree California with Amanda Jo Williams & Matthew O'Neill, sat in with Lauren Gurgiolo's Kierkegaard-&-Coleman-inspired Dialtones in a yurt in a field next to a swimming hole outside Austin Texas. He has collaborated with Seattle rock legends, improv-rocker John Leighton Beezer & engineer/guitarist Jack Endino.
Julian Cope: "5-Track appears intent on insinuating himself into our consciousnesses as a 21st century artist of the United States' next phase...delivering up to us a most necessary and much needed (in)articulate speech-of-the-heart whilst simultaneously providing spectacular picked accompaniment."
Matthew O'Neill: "If Thomas Pynchon had a roadhouse, 5-Track would be the resident artist."
Drew Denny, L.A. Record: "There should be an illustration of 5-Track next to the word 'guitarist' in the dictionary!"
D. M. Collins, L.A. Record: "Not since Marc Bolan has a flower child of this magnitude said, 'Fuck it, I'm going to take the shimmering diamond tears from beneath the eye of a unicorn and rip a hole in your ASS with it!'"
5-Track dwells in Seattle, where he guitars & basses with MKB ULTRA (rock&soul music), Beyond Captain Orca! (improv trio, Jack Endino lead guitar, Patrick Lenon drums), Peg (Sheridan Riley's pop-rock genius), Argan Band (Moroccanroll music), The Walking Faces (jamband duo), Astrol Waters (improv collective w/ Keenen Magik), his own 5-Track trio, &tc
5-Track teaches holistic music (focus on guitar & bass guitar), takes the occasional photograph, draws the occasional picture, remixes the occasional remix, cuts up newspaper articles & puts them back together in new & surprising ways. Sings the results. Investigates about musical reiki technology. Speaks for the trees.
