The third record I wanted to
mention this week is the new Loren Conners, which isn’t heavy metal
at all but deep, meditative guitar work returning quietly but faithfully
to the ghost of the blues. Not blues as you’d recognize it right off;
just the basic blues relations between notes. It’s such a nice record
-- it’s called The Departure of a Dream and is on the Family
Vineyard label -- that it’d be a shame not to mention it somewhere.
It’s skeletal, ethereal guitar work that’s barely even there,
the musical & philosophical opposite of everything we’ve been discussing
for the last twelve hundred words or so. Pick it up, sink into its reverbing
cobwebs, and forgive us for completely wrecking the rhythm of our black-metal
meditation by sticking on a denouement. We thank you for your understanding. |
