The Stumps - If I gave you some concrete slippers would you wear them when you jump off the pier?

Pseudoarcana CDR-EP, 2003

"Atmospheric reverb rock swell and sprawl. Deep space exploration from James Kirk (percussion), Stephen Clover(bass), and Antony Milton (guitar). Recorded 'live' in Wellingtons biggest garage."

What they said...

"I'm listening to the stumps 3inch right now, what great gtr-ing, yes. I saw them live the other night & they were way more tense & noise rock than on this CD. I can't believe this is the same band."

- Clayton Noone, CJA/Armpit/Futurians and Root Don Lonie for Cash honcho

"three New Zealanders indulge in some echoing/dark rock improv. Reminds me of the more krautrock inspired Savage Republic tracks, & there's a bit of the moody drone-y stuff, a Tago Mago type thing takes over for a bit, then space synths & more abstracts swirls. Great roadtrip music..."

- Glenn Donaldson, Jewelled Antler Collective and Pink Skulls

"like a miniature Fushitsusha. Kinda pocket-sized, might and swagger."

- Campbell Kneale, Birchville Cat Motel/Black Boned Angel and C/Psi/P label
