Amateur Shakes by Volcano The Bear

LOST ALBUM FROM EXPERIMENTAL OUTSIDERS VOLCANO THE BEAR

Back in 2007 we were invited by Hans-Joachim Irmler to record at Faust Studio in Germany. The plan was to hopefully release an album on the Klangbad label. We arranged some dates in between a European tour to record. Subsequent tours, combined with visits to Faust Studio over the following years resulted in an album that was finished and ready. But the Klangbad release never happened and the album kept getting shelved. In 2013 we decided to purchase the recordings so we could release the album with another label. We then sat on it and 10 years on from us gaining ownership of the recordings we are finally releasing it as Amateur Shakes.
