noise
guitar player steps further into the world of drone-
minimalism
with this recording, producing symphonic clouds of ecstatic noise with his instrument. As if in a vacuum, the six strings seem to continuously build toward an imminent crescendo that never comes. Equal parts

spirit and serious
, on
Rabbi Sky
the traffic-guitar
of
Sonic Youth
meets the monochromatic sensibility of
