Not that it is in any way a preview of what this delivers, but the 53-year old Thurston Moore is a founding member and guitarist for the legendary art/punk band, Sonic Youth. (He's also married to Sonic Youth bassist Kim Gordon.)Produced by Beck, AMG describes it as "psychedelic chamber folk." I don't have anything better, so we can work with that. This album is a much needed respite from a really confused world. Based primarily on Moore's acoustic guitar and voice, and supported by a variety of strings (and a few other things here and there) this is very mellow.
A couple of my favorite cuts include the beautiful Illumine and folkier Benediction.
While it's not in my top 10 for the year, it's still a wonderful album and I look forward to hearing it every time I see it pop up in my rotation.
