The latest offering from acid-folk singer songwriter Brendon Anderegg is called Falling Air. From one track to the next the album is a mess of different genres but somehow ends up being a (sometimes uneven) but cohesive whole. The music touches on everything from Hail To The Theif style low key electronica, to Nick Drake-ish folk, to dronescapes ala Keith Fullerton Whitman without ripping off any of them. It is a quiet affair that uses a vast array of instrumentation (vocals, guitar, banjo, organ, Rhodes, horns, chimes, drums, assorted percussion, electronics) to create quiet textures that weave throught the songs as well as the more experimental pieces. While it would be easy to overdo something on an album like this it is Anderegg's subtle restraint that holds the whole thing together. Falling Air is out now on Psych-O-Path.
