Ed Askew

Ed Askew, a gay man, cut one of the best and most obscure LPs in the original ESP Disk’s vague rock/folk/freak series, issued eponymously and since reissued as Ask the Unicorn, before apparently dropping off the edge of his world. Years later, thanks to detective work by - naturally - Mr Clint Simonson of the De Stijl Records imprint, it turned out that not only was Askew still breathing but he had actually recorded a follow-up to his ESP Disk in 1970 that had lain in the can for decades.

Hellvete

From the haunting depths of hell comes deathaxe-rider Hellvete. Armed with an ancient guitar, strengthened by medieval demons and dead ravens, he produces splattering ghostchants to summon the dead. Hellvete (guitar, banjo, charango, keyboards, organ, bass, voice, flutes, percussion, effects) plays in various Funeral Folk projects such as Silvester Anfang, Sylvester Anfang II, Hellvete Power Trio,Chainsaw Gutsfuck, Geitevuyst, Blodklod and Iron Horse. Solo he makes ghostchants to summon the dead.

Baby Gramps

Baby Gramps plays a mixture of styles and eras including traditional blues, children's and labor songs, and his own compositions. His busy and unusual guitar style includes flat and finger picking, and "chording" with the back of his hand and his elbow. His singing styles include throat singing. His voice is a cross between Popeye the Sailor and a Didgeridoo and the plinkity plink of his VERY worn National steel guitar, sounds like a wind up jack in the box.

Feathers

There is more than one artist with this name. 1. http://www.myspace.com/feathersfamily
Looking (and often sounding) as though they've been sent directly from central casting, the psych-folk octet Feathers originate from the same fertile New England climates that generated the wayfaring likes of Tower Recordings and the MV & EE Medicine Show. The arrival of their debut album on Devendra Banhart and Andy Cabic's Gnomonsong label has not gone unheralded...
