ECKMAN, CHRIS WHERE THE SPIRIT RESTS

ECKMAN, CHRIS – WHERE THE SPIRIT RESTS – CD

Brandnew studio album by one of the most interesting musicians of the past four decades, formerly the guitarist/singer/songwriter of The Walkabouts, these days more known for his work in Dirtmusic and Distance, Light & Sky or as the boss of the most innovative and thrilling record label for World Music and beyond: Glitterbeat. A dark and intense masterpiece. he fifth solo album from Chris Eckman (The Walkabouts, Dirtmusic, Distance, Light & Sky) is a deep dive into the vagaries of these extraordinary times. Eckman’s luminous songwriting navigates loss, disorientation, redemption and the search for home. Recorded raw and direct with a small ensemble, the record is framed by expansive sonic textures: treated strings, analogue synth drones and ambient guitars.
