Thurston Moore’s third solo record is a laidback, subdued affair where lilting acoustic guitars are ably complemented by gently drifting strings and dream-like harp work. With legendary musician, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist
Beck at the helm on production duties, it’s also a greatly varied and progressive-sounding record. ‘Space’ has an almost Persian feel to the wrap around guitars whilst ‘January’ comes across all at once dark and foreboding and light and breezy. This is a brilliant collaboration between two of the most inventive musicians of recent times.
