***“Much anticipated first proper release after a string of ear tugging and increasingly impressive private press CDRs. A real shinning spirit in these somewhat goofy times of "folkpsych" abuse, this guy nails it like its in his DNA. Way beyond a simple formula, this is a complete tonal voyage. Opening the album with a dark ritual of dueling reeds and buzzing drones, things then erupt into some seriously burning psych raga excursion built from totally heavy, jamming, acoustic guitar licks, Eastern grooving hand percussion, stoned backwards or fuzzed-out electric guitar splatters, and subtle creaky drones. The vocals are nearly unintelligible but swirl beautifully through most songs like floating smoky ripples. Woozy, head-bobbing, and completely THERE.” CD version packaged in a matching fabric textured, golden hued, mini LP-style gatefold cover with black & blood red printing, plus insert & woven Japanese inner sleeve.
