Description:

Music For Four Guitars by Bill Orcutt, released 28 February 2025, includes the following tracks: "At A Distance", "Or From Behind", "On The Horizon", "Only At Dusk" and more. This version of Music For Four Guitars comes as a 1xCD. -

In a trajectory full of about-faces, Music for Four Guitars splices the formal innovations of Bill Orcutt's software-based music into the lobe-frying, blown-out Fender hyperdrive of his most frenetic workouts with Corsano or Hoyos. And while the guitar tone here is resolutely treble-kicked - or, as Orcutt puts it, "a bridge pickup rather than a neck pickup record" - it still wades the same melodic streams as his previous LPs (yet, as Heraclitus taught us, that stream is utterly different the second time around). Although it's a true left-field listen, Music for Four Guitars is bizarrely meditative, a Bill Orcutt Buddha Machine, a glimpse of the world of icy beauty haunting the latitudes high above the Delta (down where the climate suits your clothes).

Recorded Winter/Spring 2021 at the Living Room, San Francisco, California. Thanks Larry Marotta, Shane Parish.
