Field Recordings by Loner Deluxe
And what a beautiful outburst of quirky otherworldliness!
Keith who is the boss of Rusted Rail together with Cecilia from A Liliac Decline and Brian Kelly from So Cow create a beautiful collection of psychodelic folk frenzy with the touches of dub ( check out that reverbrated/delayed/echoed production in Off The Grid) and krautrock that has both quite honest melancholy in it but also quite a good deal of cosmic minimalistic repetition with some nice creamy synths on the top.
There's a motoric almost new waveish feel to many tracks like in Tin Foil Hat that draws quite a good bit of attention. Using simple beat machines as in Mist Call proves how much you can get from only seemingly simplistic beat that can be both subtle and an excellent background to more subtle aspects of this psychodelic trip. There are beautiful parts of folk broken with synths as in Meet on the Wedge.
With 14 tracks each song is its own story, beautiful, funny and strange. This is definitely one of the albums worth coming back to.
