Comets Ov Cupid "Western Lands" CD Available
“The Western Lands emerge as would a figure walking out of the horizon, not there, then there, something which might never be if I was not present to witness it. Invisible they are like an echo, and so it is that the Western Lands appear, not so much as a location but as an event, a mark in time, a frozen moment, a coming to a point of perfect stillness before action.”- Roger Williamson author/ artist/occultist “Western Lands” is the first full length album by Comets Ov Cupid, a space rock project by Jason Kesselring (formerly of Skye Klad and The Satyrswitch.) A darkly cosmic album that evokes a sense of eternal twilight-creating a sonic landscape filled with ghostly lights, distorted voices, cosmic pulse, and a hazy drone of some far away approach. “Western Lands” was created in concept to be a total listening experience and is best played from begining to end. The package and design of the cd are extentions of this sensibility and serve as a doorway to your experience. The outer sleeve is carefully cut and folded by hand with a screen printed design that slowly reveals the contents contained. The inner sleeve features liner notes and painting by artist/writer/ occultist Roger Williamson. The CD also features the same painting by Roger Williamson. $13

Comets Ov Cupid is the solo project of Jason Kesselring, the former guitarist/vocalist of Minneapolis psych/space-rockers Skye Klad (later Satyrswitch). “Metalgazer” is a single-take recording of just over 20 minutes, an instrumental textural drone piece loosely constructed in three movements. Kesselring employs only a single guitar, colored with a myriad of delay and echo effects, and in the middle section, an actual violin bow (as opposed to the so-popular, and non-destructive, e-bow). In lieu of an actual recording studio, Kesselring chose to record in the Sacred Heart Cathedral in Duluth, MN, which offered (in his words) “transcendent acoustic properties.”
