David Tagg - Wind Blown Guitar (2009)

David Tagg's long-awaited follow-up to last year's Fundamentals Of Orchid Biology has finally arrived. Wind Blown Guitar carries solemn white hymns of warped wooden harmonies through cobwebbed hallways and down porch steps, into the open air of a hot summer. The whir and hum of aged reel-to-reel tapes bathes David's guitar in a humid shroud, and pools of raw reverb steam his amp like a hot bath in a cavern. Musically similar to things like "A Kingdom Of Dusk" from the 21MG Series or even Skin Diagram at times, Wind Blown Guitar contains some of David's most straightforward guitar playing yet, presented over a stately backdrop of loops and drones and woven together like an old family scrapbook
