Editions Mego – eMEGO128
"Amazing new solo album from ex-Harry Pussy guitarist Bill Orcutt and
easily his best release yet. Here Orcutt has forsaken the pick-ups and
amplifier set-up of his previous releases for a four-string acoustic
played straight into a mic. The result is startling, with a clarity and a
resonance to the guitar playing that is revelatory and that works to
underline the obsessive/compulsive nature of his technique. It springs
out of the gate with one of the most dazzling re-thinks of Harry Pussy’s
form-gobbling amphetamine style but there’s a new dynamism to Orcutt’s
attack that allows him to drop into quiet moments of mystery and
obsessively unravel and restate phrases again and again. Indeed, the
epic closer “A Line From Ol’ Man River” might be his most ambitious
statement to date, a reworking of a fragment of a spiritual in the
hallelujah style of Albert Ayler. Fantastic and highly recommended."
