We received this mail today: “You may remember a band by the name of “Meeting House”, but we are here to inform you that last summer the Meeting House burnt to the ground and it’s sole inhabitant flew the coop. Now, we introduce “M.H.”
M.H. has teamed up with Max Brooks of “Hoop Dreams” fame to direct a music video for last years “Carousel” featuring a ghost choir by the likes of Tommy Davidson of “Dream Cop” and Nevin Kight”. Beautiful my friends..
it is Maxfield Alan Haag again and his Champe Ford Recording co. with some new Meeting house recordings, an album in the making….”This album is a work in progress” He says, ..”site will be officially updated upon completion. Don’t buy this until then, just enjoy what is available and what is to come”….
Beautiful, I would buy it now.
As Maxfield Haag describes part 1 of his new double album ‘The Hands of a Hideous Giant ACT I’, it is a polished Meeting house record. (you might want to check out our previous Meeting house post & The Champe ford recording co. website, where they`ve got a bunch of new stuff- including a little EPK documentaryish movie about Meeting House. Listen closely to a sample of this gorgeous project and head over to their Bandcamp page to buy this album
…”In the woods of Virginia a different age is held, if you walk long enough past the busy highways- if you leave your back door- you can find remnants of this age. The seemingly prehistoric foundation of the South that appears no different from the earth it rests on. Though the Suburbs have taken their claim in this landscape the past refuses to die and on those hot summer evenings I walk with it’s ghosts. We sing songs about the celebration of life in the face of death- for that is what they have taught me and I sing them songs of Man’s passion. At the abandoned house down past the barbecue joint, thats where we meet. If you would like to join us – Welcome In”…MH. Head over to Bandcamp and purchase this magical haunted lofi Americana folkish album by Meeting house from The Champe Ford recording company.
