-valis Pick of the Week

Hail Voyagers!
After a week's absence, (due to heinous and unforeseen circumstances,) we're back with a new Pick. From Music City, Nashville, Tennessee, it's The Sufis! Evan Smith & Calvin LaPorte sail further into '67 with their sophmore release, Inventions, out now on Ample Play and Burger Records.

Consisting of 12 tracks, most in the just-longer-than-two-minute variety, they're fully into the Spirit of '67! Forced to be concise, they manage a remarkable range of sounds, textures, and efx. Interest never wanes as before you know it the next track starts. No time to wear out a welcome or bore your ears. File alongside Jacco Gardner's outing this year, and The Hidden Masters, too. (Which, come to think of it, The Sufis once were, pre-Idries.)



Vinyl & CD available via Burger. Get it.
