THE SOLAR CELL by A Magic Whistle

 

A new and an excellent release by inexhaustible Public Eyesore on vinyl is an almost archetypical outburst of out-there outsider music. Recorded in a hand-made The Solar Cell in the Cascades, CA, USA wooden hut adds up to the magic of it.

Self-made DIY instruments were a constant component of A Magic Whistle but unlike the releases before which oscillated around the modal of chamber music set across avant folk with electronic tools and everything that adds up to special way of composing and using those to convey the ideas.

This time the environment itself and the location played an important role, if not the central one. Imagine Eastern ethnic psychedelia but set in the landscape of experimental music that is recorded outdoors. A sure and most self-confident hand of a composer that knows exactly what he wants to achieve and puts it into a multitude of quite short tracks set on this just-little-over 40 minutes.

Beyond all this there is an honest realm of an intimate form of mysticism and  something only a personal experience can tell you. Little daily insights, creating a form of inner landscape through music and everything else that can fall into the drawer you can always open and get yourself beautifully surprised. A gem of an album.
