Comment:
sometime in the first half of the 90s when Sun Ra left Earth for
Saturn forever, to arrive at his birth place he also left vacant his
place on the blue planet. By listening to spatial music by Colorado,
US-based artist Drew Miller aka Brother Saturn, and enjoying the
quality and quantity of his sound he could be an excellent candidate
to replace the legend. Unstable Land is a beatific progression
through extended and stretched chords and drones being saturated with
vibrations. He exploits both guitars and apparently modular
synthesisers to fortify the soundscape. At times there can be drawn
parallels upon Slowdive's abstract development Pygmalion, at
times upon M Geddes Gengras, at times upon the most hazy moments by
Ducktails, at times upon epic still life by Pan American at Quiet
City, however, the artist does have his own subtle touch and
sublime approach among the other ones. I guess Miller's proficiency
used to come forth through a dense creative act while drifting
between the formalism and sensual (emotive) music. Indeed, one
element does not exclude another one in his theoretical setup. Maybe
there is also up invisible magic needed to unify the both elements
into an enchanting whole. The finishing track Nature`s
Reckoning is more mundane in comparison to the other compositions
due the stomping mid-tempo rhythm which is accompanied by a distinct
guitar pattern. All in all, the result is worth to be added to a list
of the best albums in 2016. It was announced Unstable Lands to be his last issue on We Are All Ghosts. By the way, in recent times the artist
issued a couple of brand new ones called Descent Into Madness,
and Light! Joy! Ascent! I See The Stars In Your Heart.

Comment:
I can remember for it happened approximately 4-5 years ago at a small
indie festival at Killingi-Nõmme, Estonia called Schilling nearby
the natural environment when I was enjoying a performance by the
Canadian troubadour Sean Nicholas Savage. It was fascinating because
of seeing barefooted Savage walking and at times sitting down while
singing at the stage in late night being predominant and staggering
with his voice which used to expand everywhere being just accompanied
by one guitar. It was one of the most impressive gigs I had ever
seen. And it is true to recent days. The Montrèal-based artist is
being sonically active to have released CDs, LPs, tapes and digital
items under Arbutus Records. Yeah, SNS does have his own
idiosyncratic style to have expanded and developed over the years.
His ascetic and spartan blue-eyed soul is full of emotions and
enchanting soulful resonances and one can perceive his flickering
longing while singing about love and his love towards music /Music
saved my life that's why I wanna spend all my time doing music/music
gets me high that's why I wanna spend the rest of my time doing
music/music saved my life so many times/. Indeed, I guess
Music is one of the finest direct dedications to a most
exquisite branch of art. In truth, your own thoughts and experiences
get transmitted back to you in a spirited way. It touches very
closely all those of us being addicted to music and sonic design.
However, this is just one great ditty among others within the outing.
Maybe it is even more honest to conclude about the albums of him as
wholesome fists of compositions which used to hit the listener (by
the way, Montrèal-based artists like to employ the fists in their
music, even if those are the skinny ones with regard to GYBE!). It
will live up to your expectations even given that you could expect
from it before to start listening. It could be said he is one of
those contemporary indie stalwarts with Connan Mockasin and Soft Hair
and partly Kevin Parker from Tame Impala and in recent days even Kurt
Wagner from Lambchop who have developed soul mannerism and added new threads and twists to it within the indie music scene. In a word, it is a
subsequent great listening session by him and support him by buying
his vinyls, tapes and CDs and digital files.
