"Anyone in the US or UK who's heard of Ebensee, Austria, likely knows it
for KINO EBENSEE, an old movie theatre in a tiny mountain town run by
Konrad Wallinger, which invariably becomes the favourite European venue
of any act lucky enough to play there. It’s a remarkable venue that -
for whatever magical reason - always brings out the best in bands. Phil
Shoenfelt & Southern Cross first played at the Kino in 1999 and have
played there each year since.
Sound engineer Roland Promberger produced a sterling recording of the band’s gig at the Kino earlier this year and we couldn’t pass on it. It’s that good! Their sound is rooted in something of rock tradition but they manage to transcend the genre. They’re a rare example of rare late-rock experimentation and vision. We’re offering this release as a CD plus a massive essay (Shoenfelt is a great writer) for the booklet accompanying the package. He has a long, strange history on the margins, journeying from his birthplace in Bradford UK to rough 'n' tumble early-‘80s NYC where he dallied with The Clash, Alan Vega, Nico and Carl Perkins. He then returned to the UK to get cleaned up and mingled with Nick Cave, Barry Adamson and Mark E. Smith. We can’t wait to read about it. The cover painting is by Claus Castenskiold, known for his work with the Fall, The Gun Club and Kid Congo. He offered use of this brilliant piece to accompany this release."
