Search - Jonathan Kane :: I Looked at the Sun

His follow-up to the rollicking, majestic, and critically acclaimed debut, "February" is a bare-knuckled knock-out punch. "Rocks! Great Southern-fried looped blues-rock. Like Steve Reich if all he listened to was Muddy Waters and Zeppelin" - Dusted. "Down-home grooves shine with an orchestral, massed-guitar luster that's often associated with Glenn Branca and Kane's frequent collaborator Rhys Chatham. Layered electric and acoustic sounds create overtones that trick the listener into hearing non-existent organs and harmonicas. In place of the mind-boggling beats for which he's known, Kane underpins these drones with a deceptively simple, forcefully executed shuffle. His swinging opuses exude bright, earthy euphony instead of dark, cerebral dissonance. Rarely does the avant-garde rock this hard" - Time Out NY.
