WHAT THE COVER LOOKS LIKE:

WHAT WE SAY:

Nice to hear Sheffield's space cowboy, Bobby Lee back so soon with an all too short tape of laid back, somehow hurriedly unhurried, astral Americana & cosmic country, this time for Tompkins Square. Ideal for when your mind just needs to run wild for a moment or two.

WHAT THE RELEASE NOTES SAY:

“Men come and go, cities rise and fall, whole civilizations appear and disappear-the earth remains, slightly modified. Heartbreaking beauty where there are no hearts to break....I sometimes choose to think, no doubt perversely, that man is a dream, thought an illusion, and only rock is real. Rock and sun.” Edward Abbey

Open sky/scorched earth improvisations recorded to four track tape during the rare moments of solitude afforded by lockdown and early fatherhood. Bobby Lee’s “worn-denim psych-country” remains, but the ancestral spirits of Ashra, Popol Vuh and Terry Riley are present here too. Time and technological limitations have been embraced. A song dreamt up, tracked and mixed in an afternoon, never to be tampered with again. Imperfections allowed to stand; knowing that nothing is ever truly finished. The Bob Ross school of philosophy.
