John Vanderslice, "Overcoat"
I have not checked in with John Vanderslice since, oh, “Me And My 424.” This is my fault, not John Vanderslice’s. I’ve been kind of busy. Anyway, here’s his new one, and I kind of love it. More about the record: “John Vanderslice’s latest album, White Wilderness, was an ambitious undertaking. For starters, the entire record was captured live in two days at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, Calif. He also made it the most richly orchestrated album of his career, with help from a collective of classically trained musicians called the Magik*Magik Orchestra.” Check it out.
