released April 8, 2022

A buoyant spirit radiates in the steel hollows of Rowland Taylor’s magnetic explorations. Two improvised pieces and a Fahey song burst from spark to flame in the blink of an eye. Taylor’s playing on “With Cold and Fright I” is curious, and reflective. Slow shifts point to inward considerations as the resonance glows. Its sister, “With Cold and Fright II” is a purgative explosion. The Fahey tune (“Take A Look At That Baby”) is a quick, whimsical coda to an eye-opening performance. Taylor’s work is new to me but now I want to hear it all.

-Foxy Digitalis

*************************************************************************
When we get out of the glass bottles of our own ego,
and when we escape like squirrels from turning in the cages of our personality
and get into the forest again,
we shall shiver with cold and fright
but things will happen to us
so that we don't know ourselves.

Cool, unlying life will rush in,
and passion will make our bodies taut with power,
we shall stamp our feet with new power
and old things will fall down,
we shall laugh, and institutions will curl up like burnt paper.

"Escape" - DH Lawrence

Long-form trance-y rhythmic jams, with a fun shambling edge, sounding like a cross between music from Africa's Sahel region crossed with a Tom Waits instrumental... Jascha Narveson
