Dylan Ryan Sand: Circa

Read "Circa" reviewed by Maurizio Comandini


Dopo l'eccellente Bleached Sky del 2012, il trio del batterista Dylan Ryan torna sul luogo del delitto con una bella tanica di benzina e accende un fuoco capace di brillare per la notte intera. L'incendiario principale è, come al solito, il bravissimo chitarrista Tim Young, cresciuto all'ombra di Wayne Horvitz e dei suoi Zony Mash, con la supervisione benigna di zio Bill Frisell.

Circa is the second effort from drummer Dylan Ryan's trio Sand, featuring guitarist Timothy Young and bassist Devin Hoff, extending the concepts established on the 2012 release, Bleached Sky. If you've ever pondered what Crazy Horse or Robin Trower might sound like with an acoustic bassist and a dynamically sensitive drummer, Circa provides an answer. The Nels Cline Singers are another obvious reference, although Young is a much different guitarist. Young comes ...
