(2017) Chris Forsyth & The Solar Motel Band - Dreaming in the Non-Dream

Review: One of Chris Forsyth‘s many gifts as a guitarist is his ability to create a sonic sprawl that always makes quantitative sense. Whether engaging American and Anglo-Saxon roots styles, psychedelia, or kosmiche projection, his sense of space and attention to melody are enviable. Since forming the Solar Motel Band, his explorations have revolved around everything from muscular jams strong on six-string pyrotechnics, to intensely minimal lyric songs. Dreaming in the Non-Dream contains four songs spread over 35 minutes — two are over 11. The set was cut live in the studio with precious few overdubs added later. The Solar Motel Band includes veterans Peter Kerlin on low strings and Shawn Edward Hansen on synth, Wurlitzer, and alto saxophone, along with new drummer Ray Kubian and Jeff Zeigler on electronics. This is a continuation of Forsyth’s guitar-based methodology, though the particular nuances differ from what we’ve heard before.
