anyone heard of Rhyton?? Thrill Jockey band? Probably more "post rock" than this thread but some of the songs intersect and honestly there's a 60s psych-meets-US Maple thing going on that i love
because US Maple is the Greatest Rock Band of the Last 20 years

some of it is way more folky and acoustic too
further investigation reveals one dude is from No Neck Blues Band! which kinda makes more sense...also another dude from a really obscure improv/psych band I have a record by called Matta Llama

rhyton is great -- new one is all over the place but in a good way. a joe walsh cover! some of it makes me think of sun city girls too. been checking out the forthcoming xylouris white record and damn, it is amazing. https://soundcloud.com/bella-union/xylouris-white-black-peak-single

william tyler - modern country has steadily grown on me since release, it's really a wonderful album, but it's so low key and vibey at first maybe i was a little let down because the EP w/the neu cover etc went in a little more over the top rock band jamming direction. however, this sort of weird ry cooder soundtrack meets krautrock meets fahey vibe is great and rewarding.

to ogmor's point, tbh the only people i think are really doing much that's 'new' right now are sarah louise and tashi dorji. that does not, however, mean that the rest of this stuff doesn't sound nice on a summer day, or is good to put on at a party, or to just ~chill out~ to and there's nothing wrong with that
i first listened to modern country half awake in a TSA line at 4am and then again while taking tram into denver, hit all the right spots

metzger maybe but he's kind of sui generis and to attach him to this "scene" any more than tangentally would probably wouldn't be right
I think DBH has a very unique sensibility

wrt to "Modern Country" I agree it's a very chill mental landscape and w/current events as they are that has an increasing appeal

ogmor was the one who introduced me to them/him, i don't know that much abt dbh actually though i love both albums to death
part of me would not be surprised if he came fingerpicking stuff from a whole different angle and wasn't even into fahey et al.

Ogmor had posted some of him doing Estelle's American Boy and Hounds of Love by Kate Bush as fingerstyle instrumentals

Galaxy Barn, that is.
Seeing Sarah Louise live for the first time next Tuesday and am very very psyched.
In the next 2 weeks I am going to get to see Sarah Louise and open for both People of the North and Mike & Cara Gangloff. Gonna be a good couple of weeks.

got to check out the new imaginational anthem - private press thing coming out soon, and seriously, it is fantastic. not the same old-same old by any stretch. lots of interesting surprises, all killer no filler.

You were right when you said exactly the same thing about the latest Wayfaring Strangers so I'll take your word for this one too.

Speaking of IA Vol. 8, think somebody on here was asking about track list? Just posted that & other info, with a couple audio links, on the Tompkins Square thread.

Saw that, thanks! So is this all stuff with vocals or guitar soli style?
― Wimmels, Tuesday, 9 August 2016 21:44 (seven years ago) link
all instrumental, mostly acoustic

Ah, great! Gonna pre-order this one. Thanks.

Just had the promo for this - cracking cover! Some of those titles, though - the genre is ripe for parody, innit.
― Sunn O))) Brother Where Art Thou? (Chinaski), Tuesday, 9 August 2016 23:03 (seven years ago) link
Tyler's right, this is a great comp. The stuff on here I'm not immediately connecting with has less to do with the quality of those tunes as it does my relationship to some of these styles and my personal saturation point irt Westernized 'ragas' (give me "East West," Peter Walker, and Sandy Bull, and I'm good for like three lifetimes) and the endless "bluesy and bendy" recitations of things that all sound like variations on One Kind Favor / Satan Your Kingdom Must Come Down / Cannon Ball Rag / etc. The tracks on here that fall into those camps are very good, they just don't move me. Stuff like Stan Samole's "Prayer Blessing" and Herb Moore's "Wen Also Found," though - whoo boy, those are hitting the spot.
I'm like most of you in that all but one or two names here are completely unfamiliar to me (which, as someone else said, is kinda insane if you think about it), and though the temptation is always great to just seek out the full albums by the three or four players you like most on the comp and forget to buy the comp, I'm glad I pre-ordered this one and look forward to many more spins.

just popping in to say that Sandy Nissan's Just Guitar may be relevant to you guys' interests. it was released on Herbie Mann's Embryo label in 1970 and has never been reissued, though copies are going for <$5.00 on discogs. the track below (all I can find online right now) is a 13-minute freakout acoustic jam with elements of raga and jazz, maybe not that far off from Sandy Bull's 'Blend':

i'd checked out something of his a little while back, but it didn't really grab me -- this sample sounds very nice indeed, though. Will have to dig in more.

Also, new Nathan Bowles is up for streaming. Have only hear a couple of these tunes so far, but I really like where Nathan has been taking his playing so I am sure this is going to be a good listen:

it's fantastic! really gets into like hillbilly terry riley zone at times ('i miss my dog' especially). why aren't there more people exploring that very repetitive henry flynt kind of thing? i feel like a lot od the more experimental players in this genre i encounter do the more improvisatory/skrony/derek bailey kind of thing (like tashi) which is cool but i guess i just like lots of arpeggios ahaha. (maybe i'm missing somebody, please fill me in)
excited to dig into your set too man!https://daisqueue.bandcamp.com/album/dais-queue-live-8-19-2016
― global tetrahedron, Friday, 26 August 2016 15:02 (seven years ago) link
Yeah, Nathan definitely digs into that sound really well. I mean, playing w/ Pelt (and especially Mike Gangloff regularly) kind of sets one up to prioritize that kind of thing, so I basically expect this from him. It is super gratifying to me though, especially live. One time I saw him and he laid into one of the repetitive passages for what seemed like a super long time and the overtones just started singing, it was pretty glorious.
Also, thanks for tuning into the set! No hillbilly action but lots of pinging overtones and drones (all from open tuned guitars, so kinda in the zone of this thread hah hah).
