#2127 William Tyler - Modern Country

Jesus there've been a lot of really unexpectedly great albums coming along this year.

That clean guitar it rings off the universe and back, coming back with miles attached, backed by the wandering buzz of electronics and electrics, a bunch of country-adjacent and country-opposite sounds coming together to make one of the most gorgeous ambient records I've ever heard, like every great Yo La Tengo moment distilled and evaporated -- such an unlikely source, made of such unexpected, anonymized, endless parts.

Those first and last songs, they take me mind out gently, turn it to dust, and blow.

I don't even want to ruin it with more words. An impossibly beautiful album 4.5/5
