I’ll take dreamy every time.
By dreamy I don’t mean creamy. Dreamy as in the land of dreams, the stuff Surrealism was made out of back in the day before surreal came to describe everything.
Time is Glass is Ben Chasny as Six Organs of Admittance’s 27th album, the first self-titled record came out in 1998, and it’s still guitar-driven layered and lovely. If you’re looking for roots and lineage, check out Chasney’s 10 records that influenced him as they work like signposts better than genres (that never seem to describe anything well).
The liner notes:
Once again, Six Organs of Admittance showcases the intricate tangle of fingers on the fretboard and flash of lens flare slicing the air, as the future arcs 360 degrees around to become a part of the past as well. Oscillations in this glass bowl ripple outward eternally, but are rooted on the ground where all the creatures are moving and communing; humans too. An intimate cosmic expression, file under: rural-industrial psych, ecosystem goth.
Time is Glass is also a lovely sounding record recorded up close for an intimate view on those intricate tangle of fingers.
