My new LP of ye olden musicks reviewed in VICE Portugal
http://www.vice.com/pt/read/
Thanks to a co-worker for this partial translation:
"As big of a splash as freak-folk made, ten years after ears turned to the music of Devendra Banhart and Joanna Newsom, the phenomenon didn’t serve to bring to the spotlight those more entrenched in the scene. In the case of the duo known as the Iditarod, one almost wants to say they arrived a bit too early to jump on the train which, at the time of departure, rapidly took off with the young faces most likely to succeed (because that’s how hypes go). Even so, you can’t ignore the fact that Jeffrey Alexander (multi-instrumentalist and principal composer) anticipated, almost ten years prior, almost everything which would set the profile for freak-folk, namely its tendency to accompany strange and lyrical voices with largely acoustic instruments not at all shy in bringing back the psychedelic marasmus of the 60s and 70s. This is all substantiated in the collection Foxfur and Rarebits, which includes songs recorded between 2000 and 2004 (right before the harp-girl-and-long-beard boom)... This makes up one of the missing pieces to the freak-folk puzzle."
Available on bndcmp - with 5 bonus tracks!

New (old) Iditarod LP out now! more great reviews...
Hello friends. A primer: From 1996-2003 I had a weirdo folky project with Carin Wagner called The Iditarod. I wrote all the music (and chose a ton of cover songs) and played most of the instruments. Carin wrote all of the lyrics and sang. I experimented with strange recording ideas, taught myself mixing and mastering, booked us a crap load of shows - we toured a lot... it was fun, well - I had fun anyway. There are some releases that I'm really proud of like THIS ONE. So fast forward eleven years after our break-up and the great Morc Records of Ghent Belgium has just released an LP of Iditarod comp tracks and rarities collected from 2000-2003. I have newly mastered all of these tracks... Carin created some beautiful new artwork... and the wonderful UK writer and critic, Jeanette Leech, provided extensive sleevenotes. In addition to reviews for magazines like Mojo and The Wire, Jeanette is also the author of Seasons They Change: The Story of Acid and Psychedelic Folk - so cool !
You can download it here NOW - complete with five non-LP bonus tracks:
Folk Radio UK writes (23 July 2014):
The Iditarod were very much a pioneering psychedelic folk group although for some this took the benefit of hindsight to realise as alongside the likes Stone Breath their music pre-dated the arrival of Freak Folk and mainstream breakthrough acts such as Banhart and Newsom.
At a time when indie rock was ruling venues finding a suitable place to perform their quieter music was difficult to say the least. The band eventually managed to find an ideal home base in Providence, Rhode Island where there was a more appreciative audience. They released The River Nektar in 1998. The core of the band was Carin Sloan (formerly Carin Wagner) and Jeffrey Alexander.
Amongst their self-penned material they also played traditional songs that they had learned from records by Anne Briggs and Pentangle. This new 2000-2003 collection on Morc Records titled Foxfur & Rarebits brings together oddments including alternate takes and live performances and although these songs were never meant to be together as an album, they do work as one.
Microphones In The Trees writes (24 July 2014):
aunque la canciones de The Iditarod en realidad no son nuevas, de ahora, (hay una inédita en directo y muchas que ya habían aparecido en recopilatorios), sigue siendo un regalo reencontrarse con su paraíso folk, con la voz de Carin Wagner, dulce hasta derretirse, el cello y el banjo de Sharron Kraus y el glockenspiel y la guitarra de Jeffrey Alexander. 'where the cold winds blow' es demasiado bonita y me recuerda a 'the turin horse'.... ya sólo faltaría un nuevo disco de Davenport y otro de Black Forest/Black Sea...

New Iditarod review - how's your Dutch?
http://www.newfolksounds.nl/the-iditarod-foxfur-rarebits/recensies/2014
Foxfur & rarebits
(Morc 68 / Clear spot)
(Morc 68 / Clear spot)
Ik ben wat huiverig met heruitgaven die worden gepresenteerd als ‘legendarisch’, ‘grensverleggend’, ’toonaangevend’ en meer van die terminologie. Vooral als het je geen ene moer zegt. En nog meer als ze destijds, op het moment dat ze oorspronkelijk werden uitgegeven, ook nauwelijks potten konden breken. Uiteraard bevestigen uitzonderingen de regel. Dat gaat in dit geval op voor het totaal onbekende The Iditarod, een Brits duo met snarenplukker Jeffrey en zangeres Carin Sloan. Voorliggend album is een verzameling van materiaal van diverse 7-inches en EP’s, en een live track. Niet afkomstig dus van hun twee reguliere albums of de eerder bij MORC verschenen verzamelaar Kleine. In feite is dus niet het album, maar de formatie ‘legendarisch’. En daar zit best wel wat in, ondanks het feit dat misschien slechts een handjevol liefhebbers ze kennen. Iditarod maakt toegankelijke freakfolk, psychfolk of welke term er voor geldt. Wel degelijk op de (Britse) traditie gebaseerde akoestische muziek, zonder ‘trad.arr’ te zijn, aangevuld met een dosis psychedelica en hippie invloeden. En dat halverwege de jaren negentig tot de eerste maanden van het nieuwe millennium. Toen gaf het duo er de brui aan. Juist op het moment dat dit soort muziek zich op een grotere belangstelling kon beroepen. Juiste muziek, verkeerde planning lijkt het… Want die muziek is best aangenaam, met verwijzingen naar bijvoorbeeld In Gowan Ring, of Stone Breath. Of is het andersom… Feeërieke melodieën met ballen, power gekoppeld aan ontspanning, engelengezang met diepgang, vrije songs met structuur. Leuke cover trouwens van Julia Dream van Pink Floyd. De zang van Carin Sloan doet me heel sterk denken aan Barbara Gaskin van Spirogyra en ook muzikaal zijn er parallellen met die groep. Waar Iditarod de mosterd vandaan haalde dus…Zie ze maar als bruggenbouwers van wat ooit was en toen weer terugkwam.

New JOMF / Tom Carter + Helena Espvall LP on Aquarius
JACKIE-O MOTHERFUCKER / TOM CARTER & HELENA ESPVALL split (Pome Pome Tones / Ruralfaune)
It's been awhile since we've heard from these two camps of free rock improvisers, but this split is a welcome return for both old faves, Jackie-O Motherfucker and Tom Carter.
The Jackie-O side is a side-long track called "House of Rain" which begins plaintively with funereal horns, bass, synth, and clattering percussion airing out in a slow build. Mournful mumbling vocals intone through a collage of interweaving sounds, broken guitar strums, hallucinogenic claptrap, and propulsive dirgery that coalesce into a momentous free-jazz memorial send-off for some seemingly heroic figure's burial at sea. Flutes, drums and horns buzzingly flock together into an epic whirring cloud of noise that battles it out among the stratosphere before slowly dying out.
The Tom Carter side is a collaboration with cellist Helena Espvall (formerly of Espers) called "Electrogesis" which begins more abstractly with what sounds like sped-up piano tones joined by cello and guitar in tandem, the cello more abrasive and droney while the guitar is more searching and exploratory, riding the line between melodic psych excursion and free improvisation. Soon the two lock horns around an intense raga-like center and as the sound grows more intense, the music fragments and destabilizes into a burning murky ember of glorious beautiful noise. So great! Limited to 200 copies.

New review, June 18 podcast, Fever Witch on the 25th !!!
Sudden Art Music Magazine (from ITALY) reviews
JACKIE-O MOTHERFUCKER "Europe '14" (tour-only cdr, 2014):
"Jeffrey Alexander (Iditarod) has become, quite recently, a member of Jackie-O Motherfucker and surely brought something from Black Forest/Black Sea (his previous band) in this historical project, but there was already affinity between the two acts. Impro-destructured-rock, with 'folkie' influences, an intelligent use of sax and liquid waves from analog synths. This cd consists in two long jams and a 'brief' (!) track of about 8 minutes.. It's a trip that could be very interesting for people with a free spirit.." (NICOLA NOVELLI)
