Web of Sunsets – Chaos Waltz

Web of Sunsets is a trio crafting pastoral psychedelic folk and wistful acid country tunes. Their sonics aptly compare to sepia-soaked memories or the final golden hour of sunlight. Webs is a uniquely collaborative project in that all three members (Sara Bischoff, Sarah Nienaber and Chris Rose) split duties between penning songs, playing guitar and singing across their catalog. Writing their fourth album, Chaos Waltz, the band was geographically split between Portland and Minneapolis, giving each songwriter even more autonomy and freedom to hone their particular vision. Blending and coalescing these three minds resulted in Chaos Waltz, a beautiful album of their distinctly dreamy and emotive power.

Larry Wish & His Guys – Not From My Come From

Larry Wish brings together His Guys for a set of far-out pop tunes and outsider jams. A fixture of weirdo music in Minneapolis, Adam Werven (who is Larry Wish) wrote these songs over the course of three years at the Organ Haus. They were originally recorded as 4-track bedroom prog songs with Adam overdubbing each part, drums, cheap keyboards, etc. The songs are about daily observations, reflections, interactions, and trying to understand love and life without analyzing either to death. Not From My Come From features a band of talented and wonderful musicians who have learned the parts and applied their own stylized filters to them. It is the third album by Larry Wish & His Guys, and the first to include guitarist Nate Johnson on the electric guitar. The cover painting is by Adam’s Grandfather, Lawrence “Bump” Werven.

James Chen – Taiwanese Folk Style

Walking home from school around 1962 in Chia-yi, Taiwan, James Chen heard wild guitar noises reverberating from a nearby building. Compelled by its tone and sound, he stumbled upon a local musician playing guitar and immediately inquired for a lesson. In the ‘80s he began to write songs at home, talking about cicadas molting in the summer, the pleasures of leisurely sipping tea, blooming Poinciana flowers and a wistful longing for his family after living in the States for many years. Lovely, personal works.

Cut to present day, James’ son Hewson (The New Lines) took his father’s tunes and alongside his bandmate Davis White, fleshed out the production adding additional guitar, synthesizer and drums. Hewson titled this Taiwanese Folk Style because growing up around his fathers music, this is what he thought traditional Taiwanese cultural music sounded like. Over 30 years in the making, this inter-generational collaboration is as beautiful as it is sublime.

Corum — Coastal Vudutronic Voyage CS

Coastal Vudutronic Voyage is the solo work of Grant Corum from the psychedelic troupe Million Brazilians. The tunes are flush with humid atmospherics, flickering twilight synth lines and ancient rhythms ingrained with an experimental fervor befitting of its spiritual voyage. It’s a heavy listen to be sure, simultaneously rooted in sublime worldly travels, sweat lodge visions and unheard alien soundscapes. Look inward and dig deep into Coastal Vudutronic Voyage’s lush drift.

Corum has also freshly completed his Beguiling Isles Trilogy LP series (Beguiling Isles / Effigy Mounds / Magic Mirror) on his stellar label, Psychic Sounds Records. Please listen.
