ruth garbus

ruth garbus ~ rendezvous with rama (autumn, 2010)

"lovely set of guitar/voice studies from vermonter ruth garbus, reminding of kath bloom’s sides (both w/ & w/o loren connors) & linda perhacs’ effortlessly breathy “parallelograms”. but then again i imagine most will compare the omnipresent patina of tape-hiss & chiming guitar figures to liz “grouper” harris; fans of whom will most certainly want to investigate herein" mimaroglu

"ruth garbus used to be in a band called Feathers,  she still plays with kyle t. in a band called happy birthday, she lives with c. weisman in brattleboro & her sister is merrill Tune-yards.

is she a singer/songwriter? folk musician? chanteuse? torch singer? jazz vocalist? new age artist? tropicalia? early music?. im not sure what we should call it. maybe all of the above. well it doesn't really matter anyhow because we think you'll think ruth's new album is super good." autumn

gareth dickson ~ quite a way away (12k, 2012)

"To say that the last few years of Gareth Dickson’s life have been tumultuous would be an understatement. In 2007 he fell in love with a girl from South America, packed up a few essentials from his life in Scotland, and moved to the Argentinian countryside. It didn’t turn all fairy tale at that point, however. While there he was shot at, attacked by dogs, and was involved in a very close call when the passenger plane he took to a little town in the Andes was forced down after an engine caught fire. The bullet missed, the aircraft landed, and the dog bites healed; he survived intact, albeit a little more aware of his own mortality, and a good bit more anxious.

“The bullet in all honesty was never meant to hit” he states calmly, it was a robbery gone wrong and he happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. The incident in the aircraft was far more terrifying because there was the agonizing time to think and reflect during the plane’s unintended descent. “It’s interesting to find out how you would react in that situation. Faced with the possibility that it’s really time up, I felt an overwhelming sense of this having been destiny, that it was impossible that I had boarded this aircraft by chance.”

...Gareth often gets comparisons to Nick Drake but it’s important to mention the influence he takes from experimentalists like Brian Eno, Bert Jansch, and Glenn Gould. His music is characterized by an intimacy gleaned from his dream-like approach to singing and playing guitar as well as the immediacy of being captured shortly after being written by whatever recording device is closest at hand, be it a cassette machine, handheld recorder, or 4-track. His use of analogue delays and reverb add to this soft, spacey vibe. The lo-fi nature of his sound harbors all of the cracks, flaws and rough edges of humanity, soul, and the deeply personal circumstances that surround the creation of art. ...Up until this point Gareth had been traveling as one of the mainstay’s in Vashti Bunyan’s touring band" 12k

vashti bunyan

 vashti bunyan - lookaftering (fat cat, 2005)

Me hace gracia esta fusión de las dos portadas de Lookaftering y Feels de Animal Collective (bueno...me hacía, porque ha desaparecido:)). El de Animal Collective me gusta mucho, pero el de Vashti Bunyan, si fueran comparables, me parece muchísimo mejor. Incluso muchísimo mejor que 'Just another diamond day'. 'Here before' es una de las canciones más bonitas que he escuchado este año. Dulce y mágica gracias en parte al sonido del glorioso glockenspiel (instrumento de nombre juguetón que un día me descubrió la señorita Hope Sandoval) y de una voz que no parece de este mundo. Arpa y flauta en 'Against de sky', piano y flauta en 'Turning backs', flauta y sensación de ingravidez en 'Same but different'. Lo mismo de hace treinta años pero diferente. Como decía Javier Becerra, son canciones elaboradas con el mismo encanto y magia de quien rodea un nombre con un corazón en las páginas de un diario, lo cruza con una flecha y, tras suspirar, lo cierra con llave. Así de sencillo, así de bonito. Quién sabe, tal vez algún día Akron Family, o Feathers, se decidan a rescatar a la anómala y casi fantasmal Linda Perhacs, otra gran dama del folk psicodélico de los años setenta. De momento todavía no acabo de creerme que dentro de muy pocos días vaya a tener en mis manos Lookaftering...uno de esos discos que de tan idealizados parecen irreales. Como el de Jana Hunter, o el de Born Heller, o el mismísimo 'verde que te quiero verde' Prospect Hummer.
