#2513 Bill Orcutt - Bill Orcutt

Exciting, free-flowing guitar noise - scattershot tones that coalesce into loose melodies and fall apart again, crashing against their own reverberations. Aphex-loose covers of White Christmas and Over the Rainbow bury the signature melodies in the bayou, a bony jolt of the original jutting out now and again as an afterthought. The guitar sound is crisp, harsh, with a striking sense of the room, putting you right in the strings, battered by echoes.

A real argument for music as insight into how a mind works - Orcutt's got some odd angles 3.5/5
