has Richard Osborn come up in this thread? apparently an old student of Basho just releasing his 2nd album ever?

New Tom Carter on Three Lobed is excellent stuff! He has played some of this stuff live over the last few years, but it is an excellent representation of him firing on all cylinders (imo). Recorded at Black Dirt live w/ no overdubs, which is kind of scary. He must be triggering a lot of samples/loops in real time or something:

If you are into diving into a deep one, go with track 1, "August Is All", which is just a beautiful long piece that takes up a side of an LP. If you want a slightly shorter take on it one of my other favorites is "Into The Out Of", which goes from a lovely pretty straight guitar tune into a fuzzed out sonic meditation that is lovely and overloaded but not really harsh at all. Great stuff.

Wish I knew how he was getting that tone/sound to be honest.
― grandavis, Friday, 16 October 2015 14:57 (eight years ago) link
yeah this record is pretty incredible

ooh that might take care of my Charalambides jones, I've been missing them
― sleeve, Friday, 16 October 2015 15:09 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, not sure when/if another Charalambides record will surface, but definitely some of the magic from "Exile" on this. Hope they put another one out, but Tom is definitely free to keep putting out solo records this good too.

Fallen in love with the Salsburg/Elkington album, so fluid and easy with those two reminds me of the John Renbourne/Stefan Grossman album. Also that Smiths cover arrangement is gorgeous

Funny, I just saw them open for Steve Gunn yesterday! They were fantastic. Initially the brighter moments on the record felt too sterile, like it was just pretty background music to sync with a slideshow on your computer. Once that slight cynicism wore off I really fell in love with it (especially when leafing upstate or visiting parents house).
However, seeing them play it live puts it on another level. It's one of those times you really nerd out about proficiency. These guys are so perfect at the most insane guitar parts, so tight together, tunings that never match each other and change for each song yet they know each one so well they've created beautiful duets and even improvise if need be. I just don't understand how they can be so impeccable at guitar and NOT be pulling amazing new songs out of their ass every day; it'd be so easy and they'd consistently be miles above any of the songs I've conjured and lingered with for months or years. I hope I am someday as familiar with my own face as they are with their way around a guitar.
But yeah, the songs were lovely live! They were also very funny in between- Nathan read excerpts from a book of insults of the 1800s.

I'm finding Matthew Mullane - VDSQ (vol.4) to be probably one of my all-time favorite solo instrumental records right now. I could listen to it over and over and over.
― Evan, Monday, 2 November 2015 17:18 (eight years ago) link
yeah it is great... only prob is that one side of my LP has a nasty defect! a huge vibe killing pop. vinyl, what is it good for?
― tylerw, Monday, 2 November 2015 17:41 (eight years ago) link
I'm listening to it right now - for the first time in ages. It's fabulous.

New Cian Nugent song. Going the vocal route, and not much guitar overdrive on it at all (though he takes a nice, but short, solo). Fairly low-key and straightforward. Out on Woodsist, which gives you an idea of the sound/feel (of this tune at least):

Yeah, it's nice. Interested to hear what the rest of the record is like.
― grandavis, Tuesday, 3 November 2015 17:13 (eight years ago) link
almost all of the new one has vocals, so it's obviously moving a little bit out of this thread's territory, but I think Cian's done a good job of slipping into a more traditional singer-songwriter role. (and the new album has plenty of great guitar playing too)

he's pretty mindblowing. was just listening to a live disc from the 80s and it's insane the avant things he's doing on guitar, while still having an accordion dude pumping away behind him.

my first experience seeing Richard Thompson live was at a small club i was working. I had somehow never heard of him (I know, I know) and just wandered into the space ten minutes into a solo acoustic performance and it was like a hammer. I ran backstage afterward and cornered him with "WOW, you're really good man!" and he was very friendly and cool about it. Best conceivable way to discover him imo.

actually was sort of underwhelmed by the recent Acoustic Classics album ("unplugged" renditions of concert faves) -- his vocals are a little overbearing on it. guitar playing is of course excellent.

okay normally i'm a bit bashful about sharing my stuff in here but i truly feel good about this set... takes a bit to get really cooking but i think it works. excited to have found a live 'sound' that works for me. using two amps and splitting my signal between various effects rather than just blasting all this noise into one amp with a sorta limited dynamic range

working on some more 'band' material... pretty out-there stuff. touchpoints are like harmonia and alice coltrane 'journey' but doesn't really sound like any of those, more along their loose-limbed vibe/texture. not rushing into anything though, definitely waiting for the good stuff to reveal itself
― global tetrahedron, Tuesday, 10 November 2015 18:40 (eight years ago) link
guessing at least one year out for a release?
harmonia and alice coltrane? eh, doesn't sound like it'll be good at all.
