A year and a half after Black Merlin (George Thompson) opened the Common Thread series with the much praised New World Fantasy / Ice House release George sent over some adventurous bits for a follow up and we were immediately sold. George is a true artist in his own right. All of the Black Merlin tracks evoke different sentiments. This time around the feeling it bring up is very conflicted. Both tracks have those dark aesthetics with elements of paranoia and both also share some apocalyptic elements. It is for this reason that this is the perfect follow up for CT01. Instead of just releasing music on vinyl we (with the blessings of Zoroaster) are looking to evoke spirits, cross boundaries and maintain quality. Major cliche's, but with an artist like Black Merlin on your books, Cliche's sometimes become truth. COMMONTHREAD04 - Black Merlin - Burn It / Experiments In The Dark will be available on Limited heavyweight vinyl from Late May/June 2015. Mastered By Gordon Pohl, Photography by Javier Gonzalez
