Cosmic folk transition
A twelve-string acoustic guitar rings out in a high-ceilinged room, launching a dusty, stargazing folk-rock odyssey that hovers inches from the listener before drifting upward. The music hall theatricality of the past gives way to a sprawling, melancholic psychedelia, where cosmic mysticism and intimate, frayed arrangements capture a city changing too fast.
The prominent use of acoustic guitar anchors these sprawling arrangements, introducing a warm, earthbound texture that would rarely dominate his subsequent work in this way.
