Playing a 1920 guitar banjo, 1925 tenor banjo, a 1989 Fender Telecaster guitar, 1998 Neptune 12 stringer and using a 1991 Tascam Cassette Recorder, Brandon Seabrook mixes strings, strums tapes and loops to create a kaleidoscopic album of ambitious sounds and directions. At times, as on “Melidoc Incidents For An Irrational World” the sounds of banjos, strings and tapes sounds like a sonic effect of the endless mirror reflection scene in Orson Wells’ “The Lady From Shanghai” with notes of infinity ringing in your ears. A mix of rural tones and Brian Eno are assembled on “Object of Unknown Function” and “The Historica Importance of Eccentricity” while thoughts of Leo Kottke as a mad scientist take place on “Gawk Fodder” and “Some Recanted Evening” with Joe Bonamassa being put through a Waring Blender on “Gondola Freak”. What does this look like in concert?!?
