lost futures prompted me to go back to luke schneider collaboration, understand and i have to say, i will need to put this one back in regular rotation. i listened to it a bit when it was first released, but got caught up in saultmania yet again. listening to understand a bit closer now and i really am enjoying it quite a bit.― things repeat forever and there never is a remedy (Austin), Saturday, August 28, 2021 11:52 AM

in anticipation of secret stratosphere, i'm revisiting this again and i'm ready to plant my flag: understand is maybe the best thing wt has done so far.

Given the proximity of your recommendation of this to your post in the Fahey thread, Austin, I had a good feeling as to what this would sound like and... damn. Not sure how I'd missed until now. Right up my, ah, dried up gulch.

Posts with frankly appallingly striking imagery (and too many adjectives).

A couple years back we saw WT play with Noveller out in the courtyard of the Getty Center. They sounded great just winging it together and I've always hoped that they would make a record.

Yeah, that Kraftwerk cover didn't register when I saw the tracklist, but I was absolutely thrilled when I realized what that song was evolving into.

Oh this is really good. I love him overall, but nice to hear him in this live rock mode.

lol
he finishes playing "Whole New Dude" and says:
"that was a cover of a song by Rusted Root"

Stumbled across him via the mentions in the AOTY so far thread (sucker for a Kraftwerk cover). Really lovely, kosmische pedal steel reminds me a little of Raymond Richards' The Lost Art of Wandering. Huh, guess I've heard him before via Kelly Reichardt's First Cow!

Yeah I really like that. Also I see he's coming to town with his band in September, looking forward to it. I've seen him before but in more meditative mode.

Saw him with the band tonight in Chicago. I haven't heard that live album from last year, so I wasn't expecting it to be so loud and rockin', but I enjoyed it.

This live album is incredible. Dude absolutely rocks. Is the rest of his stuff like this?
― H.P, Saturday, 9 March 2024 23:43 (one month ago) link
Not exactly, that album is his most Rock thing. I love it too. The songs on it are mostly from his other albums, but the original versions are in general more meditative. All good tho! Impossible Truth and Modern Country are good places to start.

Yeah I'd heard of the bloke but thought he was a country singer-songrwiter type so didn't bother to check him out. I'll go diving in to see what else he's got, thanks for the recs

I think the Lost Colony EP is closest to the live album.

Impossible Truth is some great wide open desert musicalso highly recommend the album he did a couple years ago with Marisa Anderson, Lost Futureshis first album Behold the Spirit is kind of forgotten now but it's great, a little more towards the Fahey side of things
