Loren Connors' 'Departing' Series Hits Six
October 10, 2016
It's another chapter in Loren Connors' ongoing The Departing of a Dream vision. Just months after reviving it from a ten-year hiatus with the release of Volume V -- Loren Connors issues Volume VI, another movement of saturated guitar tones, dissonance and impermanence.
"Gone are the slow-moving bass lines and the identifiable pedal-craft of the first go-around. What’s left is the sound of Connors alone in a room full of people, drawing out gradually fading tones and percussive echoes. Each note does the work of a Webernian orchestral passage, each interval is a look into the grave, and the distant chatter of the crowd on this live recording seems impossibly far away" -- Bill Meyer, Still Single
The 10-inch record in out Oct. 14 in an edition of 550 copies with cover art by Connors.
