What’s the hardest you think Sun Araw could crash your internal synapses? No doubt his smooth-jazz-meets-harsh-psychedelia tip get’s the best of all our sponge brains, but the mind-grapes are always work the squeeze. Especially because this ain’t just no Sun Araw release, but S. Araw “Trio” XI. Now, there have been a [Roman numeral] amount of Sun Araw “Bands” that have toured with Cameron Stallones (a.k.a. Sun Araw), so scope that dude’s Bandcamp, but this one made it to Drag City and Sun Ark via double vinyl. And I’m hoping the label keeps it strictly vinyl, as added sounds from Trio partners Alex Gray (recent honored the TMT Eureka for new album Ad Hocc (TMT Review) bringing the sax and computer synthetics, and Matthew Brown (melon expansionite) on the real reel and keys and keys, are WAY to good for more than just four sides of the deepest cuts, collectively amounting to GAZEBO EFFECT.
Since receiving “Trellis,” it’s been the only thing that’s been turn’t on my home system. Like, the fiancee has (gloriously) lost sleep just sitting there, awake in the living room, envisioning. My dog is at home right now listening to “Trellis” on a repeat look, ALL DAY. The kid sleeping downstairs from our living room is definitely growing his brain too because of it. No doubt. It’s like ginseng for your ears. Can you imagine what S. Araw “Trio” XI’s GAZEBO EFFECT LPx2 will sound like? Prepare for a new year.
