World of Echo If you like Chicago-style post-rock, then you gotta get a copy of this. I wish there was more instrumental music like this out there, but in all honesty, it's scarcer than you would think. I'm really hoping John Jeffrey makes more instrumental music like this.

rivolta83 This record made a deep impression on me. One of my treasured vinyls for sure. Big love John

Aidan Knight perfect vibe perfect snare

about

Recorded in a series of sessions at The Hive, with engineer Colin Stewart, Jeffrey drew inspiration from the jazz principles of spontaneity and improvisation. He approached each session as an experiment in a kind of anti-composition in which he sought to remove ego from the creative process and reimagine the self as a channel for natural processes, rendered through music.

The four shimmering instrumentals are like a landscape unto themselves. At once grounding and expansive, they defy easy categorization. There are no linear surfaces, only elemental processes that curve and weave, disappear and reappear; a detailed interplay of atmospheric synths and meditative rhythm evokes the motion of water, the momentary ray of light through tall trees. There is both beauty and mystery here - a quality just out of reach, that rewards close attention but does not pursue it.

If Wooden Shjips traded their sails for a prairie schooner, this is what you might hear them playing around the campfire at night on the Great Plains: homespun country-rock with a hint of psychedelia. Wonderful stuff, from start to finish. neu-mann
