Spectre Folk

Even just before he teamed with Elisa Ambrogio and Leah Quimby to create the Magik Markers in 2001, Brooklyn’s Pete Nolan was making dreamy lo-fi music beneath the Spectre Folk alias. Nevertheless, his meandering house recordings didn’t actually start taking form until much later on, when drummer Steve Shelley (Sonic Youngsters) and guitarist Peter Meehan (the Gray Lady) authorized on as Nolan’s live music group. After a surplus of limited produces on tapes, CD-Rs, and vinyl fabric — including a Woodsist LP entitled The Blackest Medication in 2007 — Spectre Folk released 2009’s Compass, Blanket, Lantern, Mojo for Arbitrary Indications, and slated a follow-up Woodsist EP, entitled The Blackest Medication, Vol. 2, for 2011.
