2013 RSD release. "Originally engaged as a fanciful and casual collaboration between Hiss Golden Messenger and Steve Gunn, under the newfound artistic direction of Mr. Silk, Golden Gunn instead gradually developed into something more singular, evocative, and visionary. Trading loose concepts and recordings back and forth across state and Mason-Dixon lines, Taylor, Hirsch, and Gunn conjured these tunes in response to the rhythm tracks Dickie programmed on his antique drum machine. When they could reach him, Dickie weighed in with elliptical comments and encouragement but his flip phone was always breaking, and by the time they were ready for mixdown, he was reportedly in Malaysia. Formally speaking, the largely instrumental album includes some new selections and confections from each of the players which were then transformed through the amber BluBlockers of Dickie Silk and honed into an altogether stranger collaborative session vibe, copping feels from Silk favorites like J.J. Cale, Waylon Jennings, Boz Scaggs, and the Average White Band."

"At first glance, the titles on Chuck Johnson's Crows in the Basilica suggest an artist both aware of and in touch with his surroundings. There are mountains, creeks, sand; towns, streets, basilica; crows, geese. Skim Johnson's liner notes and this sense of outward attention expands. Songs are based on raga improvisations and Chinese melodies, the Piedmont blues of Carolina pioneer Elizabeth Cotten and the mountain guitar of Appalachian legend Roscoe Holcomb. But despite how conscious Johnson is of what's going on outside -- both outside his window and outside our borders -- his journey on Crows in the Basilica is as much internal as external. Johnson's references to the elements around him and the art that inspires him are launching points toward the wider realms of nature and music, but they also propel him inward, toward introspection and self-reflection. In fact, for much of these eight masterful tunes, inside and outside are mirror images, each influencing and guiding the other in a recursive loop of creativity."

"With each successive release, MV & EE strive to map new territory and to travel more distant orbits. It makes sense that this mission is their furthest reaching yet. While they've long been comfortable navigating the same planes as such cosmic explorers as Sun Ra and Alan Silva, Fuzzweed sees them planting their freak flag in the sorts of different galaxies where the atmospheres counterpoint the music of the spheres with the more earthbound plaints of the blues. Please remember that The Golden Record that NASA sent up with Voyager back in more optimistic times included 'Dark Was The Night.' That concept -- listening to Blind Willie Johnson in space -- strikes me as an apt analogy for what this Fuzzweed accomplishes on every spin." --Pete Coward. Includes bonus live CD (Live at Zebulon Residency January 2011).

"This is healing music. Maybe you know that already. If you've read much of anything about Horseback, you've likely encountered the fact of Jenks Miller's obsessive-compulsive disorder, and how, through meticulous craftsmanship and sonic sculpting, he used the project he'd call Horseback as a sort of therapy. Impale Golden Horn often sounds like a conversation, between guitars that surge quietly, forcefully into each other; or between tumbling drums and elegant piano." Housed within a sleek multi-color silkscreened jacket

"Ocean Parkway covers a great deal of sonic territory. For all of the slow, furious build of both the album's opening and closing tracks, there are also tracks featuring a substantial bit of playful and hypnotically mesmerizing phrasing ('Banh Mi Ringtones'), acoustic twelve string?centric strolls ('Don't Lean On Door') and the full-on rollicking rockers ('County Fair Getaway'). Both players are on the absolutely top of the game throughout the totality of every track. For each shimmering moment of guitar genius from Gunn, Truscinski -- the perfect percussive foil -- fills the exact and right space around him. It is breathtaking to listen to these near-telepathic instances unfold. While these flashes were around every turn on Sand City and contained reminiscences of the most potent moments of both Fantasias-era Sandy Bull and the more guitar-centric Sun City Girls albums, they move to yet another level on Ocean Parkway. This album demonstrates that they have fully moved into their own sphere with their own completely signature sound. This is unmistakably a Gunn-Truscinski Duo album."
