about

LA film composer and guitarist Brady Cohan offers the final edition of his fascinating, ongoing series for solo guitar and electronics with the dark sparsity of Studies, Vol. 3.

Studies, Vol. 3 takes a neat step along from the themes and styles of its earlier cousins. Where Vol. 1 leant into lush Malibu balm and Sam Wilkes’ slo-mo grooves, and Vol. 2 darkens into a Lynchian noir featuring Sam Gendel’s blurry treated saxophone, Vol. 3 takes us to a new destination still. Its deconstructed, cubist guitar journeys weave similar patterns to avant-guitar’s deftest practitioners such as Loren Connors, Fennesz, Jim O’Rourke or Tashi Dorji. And across all three volumes of Cohan’s Studies is the same skilled, agile handling of guitar and electronics; the same radical chill of downtown LA’s vital jazz scene; the same distillation of musical mastery honed by years of composing filmscore. Studies Vol. 3 tidily sews up the set while contributing a whole new world of strange sonics itself.

Cantus, Descant
by Sarah Davachi

Eerie, expansive, and breathtaking. This is ambient drone on an epic scale. The effect that some of these pieces have when they abruptly end is shattering -- these sounds become a part of your consciousness, and when they drop away, you're left in silence more intense than you've ever felt.

I just bought this earlier tonight, and now I am sitting here in the dark instead of turning in for the night, just listening to this record over and over again on a loop. My initial reaction was that this is probably one of the best jazz albums of 2022. My considered reaction, as I press play for the 3rd time, is that this absolutely must be among the handful of best records released this year. Spend some time with it, and I think you'll agree. timmytherube

The word that best describes this album is 'transcendent' or something like that. I can't quite put my finger on what feeling it inspires, but it's certainly one that is unique and quite pleasant. wik_wav
