FOLK
ATP label follows up FUCK BUTTONS album with the brand new album from dark folk wunderkind ALEXANDER TUCKER. Previous album ‘Furrowed Brow’ (ATPRCD023) won the following plaudits: MOJO “A powerfully resonant sound which marries conventional folk moves with experimental improvisation.”… UNCUT “4/5. Tucker shores up his ragas with great rolling cloudbanks of distorted electric guitars.”…THE WIRE “This is as good as british experimental guitar music gets.”
Like composer JIM O’ ROURKE Tucker is unparalleled in his pairing of the 20th Century avant-garde techniques of composers like STOCKHAUSEN and STEVE REICH with the archaic sounding free-folk of JOHN FAHEY, ROBBIE BASHO & LOREN CONNORS.
His voice is comparable to ‘Meddle’ era DAVID GILMOUR or JOHN MARTYN on ‘Solid Air’.
