Acoustic-shredder/singed-songwriter ventures out of the folk rock territory of Van Morrison/Tim Buckley/John Martyn/Joni Mitchell that his past few albums explored. Full of angular left turns, complex structures, airy flutes, jazz detours, and psychedelic atmospheres. A balance of great songwriting, jazz musicianship, and experimental/art-rock tendencies. Recommended to fans of Tortoise’s Standards, Tim Buckley’s Starsailor, and King Crimson’s Red. (Click for full review).
