a depressed jim morrison collides with hank marvin and lord byron in a sonic suicide pact of downer
psych prog mystery, a few sleeveless copies of slaves sole deroy lp exist but devoid of information and
thus no one has been able to find out anything about the band. seelie court beleives it to be connected to
9.30 fly but having contacted members they deny involvment, although barbara wainwright did concede
that ‘ it does sound a bit like us’ . the music is slow echo laden and atmospheric, using a psyched out
twangy guitar and the doors esque vocals intoning strange and twisted tales. the shadows on a bad acid
trip? its a love or hate lp that leaves some listeners awe struck and others deeply confused.
