Description
Delicate and beautiful music from the combined forced of the recently ubiquitous East-Coast psychedelic combo Elkhorn and Pelts Mike Gangloff, laying down two epic raga-like performances captured on a 2022 collaborative tour. Ganglofffresh from the triumph of his VHF solo fiddle album Evening Measureshas found a distinct instrumental voice, blending drone music and trad influences in way that really advances the tradition into new areas. East Dauphin Suite builds patiently on the interlocking acoustic guitars of the Elkhorn duo, with Gangloffs hardanger fiddle carrying the melody over the top. The sound is a neat riff on American primitive, with just enough Appalachian-style touches via Gangloffs careful glissandos cutting through the Vuh-type chords and patterns to create a unique and supremely melodic hybrid. Summerfield Raga takes things further out, with more microtonal variation in the embroidery, with assertive bowing and an increased energy level. Pressed in Chicago and housed in an amazing jacket by Jake Blanchard.
