The Blythe Archives | Volume One is available on Burnt Toast Vinyl as part of the ongoing one-sided
LP series. The release contains three proper songs and one sprawling, echo-mad, soca-flavored
soundquake composed on amplified steel drum, electronic percussion, gated kick/snare hits, dub
delay and pan effects, and chaotic melody shards. The centerpiece of the disc is the first track, the
four minute "Hallelujah", in which Matheny makes use of analog techniques torn from the playbook of
Lee "Scratch" Perry to tape a 5/4 ostinato nylon string guitar hymn celebrating cows, RNA, taxi
dispatchers, ozone, and space colonization. Like the other one-sided LP series releases, the record's
B-side contains not audio but an etching by the band depicting visual representations of the concepts
alluded to in the songs. Unlike others in the series, the etching on Volume One also contains clues
necessary to find the hidden, geocached master tape fragment corresponding to the release.
