Loren Connors - Red Mars (2011)

Fittingly titled. Loren (Mazzacane) Connors totally owns this style, atmospheric instrumental electric guitar improvisations, at once both abstract and strangely accessible. This sort of thing should be dreadfully boring but there is a quality to it that makes it appealing as either background music or a more involved listening experience. Disjointed, atonal notes become beautifully melodic under Loren's playing, making a perfect sort of sense in their own unusual way. The music's presence is very inviting, and the atmosphere that Connors is capable of creating on this recording with only a guitar (using minimal effects) and amp noise is nothing short of astounding. This isn't the kind of music to intellectually analyze to death, it pretty much speaks for itself.
