Six Organs of Admittance

Six Organs of Admittance a favorite of mine over the last year. Ben Chansey brings us Spacey Folk Guitar driven epics, a unique sound and a blistering, atmospheric and sophisticated blend of music. Chansey has a fairly large back catalogue,I am working my way through it, and so far have been nothing short of amazed with everything I have heard, I feel Luminous Night however is a fairly accessible work and contains some of my favorite songs of his, namely 'Anesthesia' and 'Bar-Nasha'.

A fairly big name in the 'New Weird America' movement, Luminous Night has helped to be produced by Sunn O))) and Current 93 Six Organs brings the use of guitar to a different plane through his works, reminiscent of a Western in some parts, huge amounts of atmosphere, looming vocal harmonies and psychedelic induced guitar work. Released on Drag City Records who have the accolade of Boris & Michio Kurihara, Pavement and some other great artists.

'Luminous Night' has become one of my favorite albums the whole 'Freak Folk' doesn't lend itself to easy description, however I will say it brings a psychedelic laced, enthralling and beautifully paced work, a must listen record.
