Twang 008 (waag_rel110)

by Cousin Silas

supported by

Paul Asbury Seaman An album that should get an award for best song title of the decade (track 13). This one is a bit darker and less twangy than others in this series. I recommend the just-released [Jan.2020] Silas Sampler 2 on the Cousin Silas's Bandcamp page, as well as lots of stuff here on WAAG. A masterful ambient guitarist reminiscent of some Brian Eno classics (e.g. with Daniel Lanois), and the most exciting musical discovery for me in ages. Favorite track: Mysterioso.

about

Each track on Twang Eight is an improvisation on guitar recorded live in one-take. No edits or overdubs, just one man and his guitar pushing the boundaries of sound.

And I cannot get enough!

From the opening track, "Movements Of A Celestial Nature", with its otherworldly choir and oppressive dark ambient air through to the spacious, light-filled "Summer Sunrise" with its sustained guitar, this is an album that both surprises and delights the dedicated listener.

I have always valued the atmospheric nature of Cousin Silas' more ambient music, Whilst some can make their guitars gently weep, Cousin Silas can paint pictures in your head and take you on whole journeys into the dusky, half-lit world of the imagination.

As before, my thanks goes to Cousin Silas ... Warren Daly … Kevin Lyons ... Adrian Nicholls ... Drew Miller ... and the wonderful waag community ... for their generous support.
A 320kbps version of this release will be available, for free, over on Archive (archive.org/details/we-are-all-ghosts) with a lossless version available here on Bandcamp for ‘pay what you want’.
