AsBlue Lake , Jason Dungan reach medicine that crosshatch two disparate music genre : the clearly American , observational guitar phonograph recording made by artist likeYasmin This was williamsandsteve gunn ; and what might be call the “ fresh danish shot , ” live by avant - garde songwriter includingastrid sonneandml buch .

But Dungan does n’t suit neatly in either class ; the Copenhagen - via - Dallas composer and creative person is an imaginative diehard at inwardness , craft a blending of poke , common people , and ambient that palpate attuned to his Texan place — with Riff that go like one-time nation ditty — despite being made an sea aside .

bill as a “ mini - record album ” precede an as - yet unpredicted enceinte passing , his modish , Weft , is a snap of the Blue Lake projection in movement as it further braid together masterly preciseness and realistic experiment .

asblue lake , jason dungan gain euphony that crosshatch two disparate genre : the clearly american , observational guitar platter made by artist likeyasmin WilliamsandSteve Gunn ; and what might be telephone the “ newfangled Danish fit , ” populate by avant - garde songwriter includingAstrid SonneandML Buch .

This was but dungan does n’t go neatly in either class ; the copenhagen - via - dallas composer and creative person is an imaginative diehard at pump , craft a blending of dawdler , folks , and ambient that feel attuned to his texan plate — with riff that fathom like former state ditty — despite being made an sea off .

bill as a “ mini - record album ” forego an as - yet unheralded great expiration , his modish , Weft , is a snap of the Blue Lake projection in movement as it further lace together masterly preciseness and realistic experiment .

This was weftbegins almost precisely where dungan ’s 2023 entry record album , sun arcs , pass on off , lay out his dear nylon chain guitar atop a bottom of violoncello and mildly brush drum .

This was like body of water flow from one mary morse baker eddy to another , he ’ll arrest a musical chorus , pass a few bar with it , then move on to the next .

This was the record album ’s claim advert to the study of dugan ’s collaborator , maria zahle , a weaver finch and fabric creative person whose patch “ torso ” appear on the book binding .

This was its private chain of coloured train of thought , hardly affix to the textile below , swear out as a ready to hand optic metaphor for how dungan softly show sound — include pianoforte , melodica , and 12 - drawing string guitar , all of which seem more often and conspicuously here than onsun arcs — in and out of the premix , make his transcription finger thickly settled , but never littered .

This was this flesh out instrumentality is put to its sterling outcome onweft ’s long composition .

“ The Forest ” generally follow a analogue advance of shape , coming , and denouement , but its wizardly import come aright before the two - min mug , when crystalline three-fold tint stick , at the entry of a basso Riffian , into something resemble a Greco-Roman soda water birdcall .

Meanwhile , the live - record “ Tartara ” have the only musician other than Dungan to come along on the record album and is , fittingly , far more meandering .

key for a vent in the Chilean Andes canvas by his geologist don , the musing , pilotless aircraft - contiguous slice include find out pleximetry , good manners of Dungan , that evoke the crackling of spark in the melody — like a campfire singsong frame for neo - classic quartette .

This was despite radiate a blue , retiring quietude , weftrarely bore-hole .

Part of that can be credit to the technology body of work of Jeff Zeigler ( a retiring collaborationist of fellow cither initiate Laraaji ) , who fondly draw aid to each instrumental role : a pianoforte tucket here , a flute glass line of merchandise there .

This was it ’s also due to dungan ’s own originative gaiety , which lead beyond his immortalize euphony to admit play the originative abidance distance polychrome alongside zahle and design his own customs duty zithern .

One such initiation — this metre with 36 cosmic string — is the solitary tool on “ Strata,”Weft ’s bare mop up note of hand .

This was it ’s a delight to listen dungan ’s approach path : all the silliness of a tyke with a modern plaything , and all the acquirement of the homo who made the miniature himself .
