David Grubbs & Loren Connors
Evening Air
Boomkat Product Review:
At a resting heart’s pace, the venerable pairing of Loren Connors & David Grubbs reprise the calm magic of their 2003 meeting with a new suite of crepuscular ambience, laying widescreen, meditative reflections that slowly unravel into a gorgeously evocative drift, tipped to fans of Harold Budd, Roy Montgomery, The Necks.
Their first trip to the studio since ‘Arborvitae’ (2003) portrays the duo in chimeric form as they seamlessly swap roles on keys and electric guitar. They bring a combined near-century of experience to the table, spanning countless collaborations with Jim O’Rourke, Will Oldham, Tony Conrad, Alan Licht, Keiji Haino - a veritable who’s who of the late C.20th and early C.21st notables - who’ve all prized their respective ability to gel with and heighten the mood.
The atmosphere is in tongue-tip effect here, diffused between longer passages of signature, ruminative and roomy spectral guitar shimmers and melancholic piano, and more concise, puckered chamber arrangements, at a time-dilating best on their parting take on Connors & Suzanne Langille’s ‘Child’. However, the standout comes with ‘It’s Snowing Onstage’ (what a title?!), where they quietly parlay with an exquisite instrumental lyricism on dual electric guitars in levitating shimmers and swoon, before Connors unexpectedly switches to a sizzling jazz drum coda.
A real one to make time and space for.
