STILL FACTORY SEALED
The 1967 first & best RED KRAYOLA album remains also their most notorious and extreme effort. Featuring 13th floor Elevators singer/guitarist Roky Erikson on a couple of tracks. ...................................................................................
The 1967 recording was a glorious night with the music of the 'Rebellation Generation'. Rick, Steve and Mayo, 'The Red Crayola' -- had come to Andrus Studio with a few of their friends, 50 friends to be exact, to record a FREE-FORM FREAK-OUT album. They brought with them their own form of music, -- a bell, buzzsaw, motor cycle, guitars, drums, organs, bottles, stockes, mouth bow, rocks, balloons, kazoos, flutes, piccolos, a hammer, jugs and just about every other item you can think of that makes noise, but then 'Beauty is in the eyes of the Beholder' -- and what is noise to one is Beautiful Music to another. The studio engineer watched for two hours as a young man made his music by striking two match sticks together. He had apparently flashed -- and to him this was his beautiful music (his girl friend kept time by blowing in a pop bottle). "Limited definitions define limit and one can go just so far. Here we go..." -- Mayo Thompson. The Red Crayola (later Thee Red Krayola) was a psychedelic, avant-garde rock band from Houston, Texas, formed by art students at the university of St. Thomas (Texas) in 1966. They made noise rock, psychedelia and occasionally folk/rural songs, an approach delivering the lo-fi aesthetics of charm, later worshiped by 1990's Indie copy bands.
"The Parable Of Arable Land" remains one of the most infamous releases on the highly sought International Artists label.
A “free form freak-out” segues each of the actual songs, often resurfacing again elsewhere within the songs.
The songs introduce mainstay Mayo Thompson's signature style of abstract lyrics wed to minimalist (and often avant-garde) melodies and rhythms.
” The Familiar Ugly” refers to the fifty or-so friends of the band who provide the “Free Form Freak-Outs”. they were instructed by the band to play whatever they pleased. The album itself was recorded in a single session, featuring the band (then consisting of Mayo Thompson on guitar and vocals, Steve Cunningham and Rick Barthleme on bass drums), playing live with the familiar ugly.
