OK so this one has me a little excited. I'd only just come across it recently, but it was originally posted by Ethan Miller of Comets On Fire himself.
It's a 3 song 'lost' Six Organs Of Admittance album which was originally recorded straight to tape during the rehearsals for Comets On Fire's Field Recordings From The Sun album.
If you are not familiar with the connection, Six Organs Of Admittance is the name Ben Chasny from Comets On Fire goes under when he isn't playing with Comets.
He has several brilliant albums under the Six Organs banner, i'd highly reccomend the last he released in 2007 - Shelter From The Ash.
Anyways the Electric recording mentioned above is basically Ben playing what would have become Six Organs Of Admittance songs with the other members of Comets On Fire and laying them straight to tape.
It's exactly how this kind of music should be played - raw and gritty with loose ideas coming together as the songs roll on. It's absolutley brilliant and even though it's technically 7 years old, it has just come to light this year so it's already in my list of the best albums I have heard this year.
Do yourself a favour and read the story behind it then download it here.
