Pearls From the River

Pelt

Three long-form acoustic improvisations where Appalachian banjo and guitar meet the hypnotic structures of Indian raga. Dusty, resonant, and deeply patient.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition ten minutes into the title track where the banjo patterns begin to dissolve into a thick, breathing harmonium drone.
The way the acoustic guitar in 'Up the North Fork' mimics the repetitive, cyclical structure of a sitar performance.
The final five minutes of 'Road to Catawba' where the resonance of the strings creates a ghostly, shimmering overtone effect.
