SUSS - High Line, album review

Ambient Twilight and Twang

The ambience of Country – not panorama or wafts of meadowgrass – but synth and pedal steel with brooding and tolling bells as well as peaceful clouds drifting overhead just before the fuzz. Ambient music, that is, but more fun to tease it out as above, the Country-esque not a dominant force but evocatively present because there is much other, as the folk of closer Sundowner, though the cowboy guitar does come along in the end. I’ll admit I have to listen again as I have been soothed over the past forty minutes by its charm when doing something other than lying in its musical fields. Genuine bliss and blossom lassoed in loops and synthesis. Consider Pink Floyd farming in Glen Campbell’s pastures and open plains.  

Listen and get it here.
