Our album of the week (28th August 2009)
...according to our Brett on Thu 27 Aug, 2009.
Drag City mainstay Jim O'Rourke's returned to his Nic Roeg obsession (see Bad Timing, Eureka and Insignificance) for new LP The Visitor, which takes its name from David Bowie's character in The Man Who Fell to Earth and is billed as a kind of sequel to Bad Timing. It's easy to see why, with its mixture of neo classical elements and vaguely country-sounding instrumental Americana a dead ringer for parts of that LP. For all his lovely guitar work and wonderfully expressive bar room style piano playing I think the magic's really in the production on this one. It's sequenced as one long track, presumably (since it's been so long between full solo LPs) from snippets written and recorded over the course of several years so it almost seems like he's worked a miracle in producing such a singular effort and engineering it to flow so naturally. As ever he does a fine job of mingling the avant garde with the purely listenable and in no way is this a difficult album to appreciate.
