Evening Fires: Incredible Adventures

Incredible Adventures is taken from the same sessions as Where I've Been Is Places And What I've Seen Is Things. Although the EP contains only four tracks there is still almost forty minutes of psychedelic music to enjoy.
Evening Fires includes:

Ben Wentz - drums, bass guitar (2), baritone guitar (3)
Bob Sweeny - bass guitar, electric guitar (2)
Nathaniel Rasmussen - synthesizers, recorder, effects
Kevin Moist – electric and acoustic guitars, organ, synthesizer
Gabriel Gould – electric piano (2)
Adam Bugaj – keyboard (2), lap steel guitar (3)
Jennifer Breimhurst – violin, gourdalin, theremin
Erich Breimhurst – electric guitar (1,4)

The music here is more experimental but is still a nice companion piece to Where I've Been…The all instrumental disc begins with the psyche infused folk rock of "Big Farmer Big Jesus" where the swirling fuzziness of guitars and synths creates a dense atmosphere. "There Is No Going Without Returning" is a more ambient tune with jangling guitar and trippy synths. A darker and unsettling tone pervades the experimental "Unaussprechlichen Kulten" whereas "Staring Down the Gullet of the Great Beyond (part three)" is ten minutes of pure Appalachian space rock, as the band likes to call it.

Perhaps not as accessible as Where I've Been Is Places And What I've Seen Is Things, Incredible Adventures is a real grower and if given the time you too can discover all the psychedelic riches Evening Fires has to offer.
