Comment: Chad Golda is a
singer-songwriter from Fort Collins, USA whose was erstwhile being known as a
member of such Michigan-based trio as Ringo Star/starstarstar, the combo who
had issued some splendid albums under Rack & Ruin Records. Upon it he
embarked on solo project which resulted in some poignant experimental releases made
up of free folk, psychedelic rock, noise and electronics. However, this case is
up there to provide eight brand new ones which are subjected to eight different
modes/ recording premises ranging from the acoustic tape, digital four track,
acoustic digital, and digital drum setup to electric digital drums, digital
field recordings, and electric loop setup. More profoundly, at times the
listener can enjoy bare acoustic guitar strumming at times the strings are accompanied
with harmonium-drenched drones and more distinctly designed rhythmic patterns (may
he be exploiting the drum machine if necessary at a time?) and some concrete
sounds and reverberant singing layers. If to compare it to his first solo issues than aesthetically he is calmed down. It does mean the whole includes 64
tracks in total. Indeed, it is tremendous but worth to unzip it.
