You Are My Everlovin / Celestial Power

by Henry Flynt

You Are My Everlovin / Celestial Power cover art

Recorded between 1980 and 1981 but released later via cassette, this work is a staggering, hypnotic fusion of American roots music and avant-garde minimalism. Henry Flynt utilizes relentless, rhythmic electric violin bowing over droning tape loops, seamlessly blending Appalachian folk modalities with Hindustani classical structures. It is a deeply meditative, psychedelic, and visionary masterpiece of minimalist drone.
