Album Notes & Community Reviews

The acclaimed guitarist and improviser expands his minimalist repertoire by integrating sweeping orchestral elements and hauntological gospel samples. Diverging from his signature frantic acoustic picking, the completely instrumental pieces embrace a cryptic, deeply nostalgic atmosphere bordering on avant-garde easy listening. 'How to Rescue Things' is a passionately sentimental and structurally unpredictable solo excursion.
