Comment:
this 13-notch issue is created by a Canadian multi-instrumentalist, Richard Lisaj whose music sounds like a palette of sketches recorded
by driving across highways in southern part of the USA. Indeed,
it was recorded while he was travelling from Canada to the US states
(Utah, Colorado, New Mexico). By
listening to it one can discern Tex-Mex details within it. Musically
it is based on pastel guitar jangling, some harmonica whiffs and
exquisite electronic progressions and roundabouts which together are
grandiloquent and rustic at the same time. Frequently these moods are
imbued with the chirping of birds and some other concrete sounds, at
times it might even remind of some tracks of David Bowie's albums
from his Berlin period (for instance, at Garden
of the Gods). However,
the music is Americana and it is very welcome to meet it with
unexpected dodges within the mix. In a word, it is a fabulous
listening experience being released under
Acustronica, Bandcamp, and
Jamendo.
