Releases from artist / Veröffentlichungen von : Owen Marshall

every once in a while, a record presents itself so defiant in its refusal of categorisation that it becomes the bane of those poor vinyl archaeologists whose business it is to file and classify. the aptly named >the naked truth< is one such artifact, a wayfaring stray of an album that weaves its insouciant magic through the edgelands of sound. the musical provenance is palpable - an electric blend of spiritual jazz, rhythmic black psychedelia and far-out exotica - but where it’s headed remains a mystery, echoing shapes so strange that they fit no musical crevice. this is an album whose grooves are slow and deep, with a languid, balmy, and irresistibly pensive aura. it is moody: cosmic abstractions ooze from every sweet inflection, lulling arpeggios lose themselves in a haze of forgetfulness.
