Tibbetts, Steve - Close CD
SKU
28-ECM214009.2
A new Steve Tibbetts album is always an event and a treat and it’s been 7 years since his last one!
This is really deep with lots of musical and recording DEPTH, and a lot of stuff that sounds very much like backwards tapes, but that I suspect is not. At first listen, I thought it rocks a little less in a straight-forward way and is more comprised of atmospherics, but then I realized how rocking these atmospherics are!
“Steve Tibbetts’ Close is a masterful fusion of electric guitar and ambient storytelling. The album unfolds like a sonic journey through space and time, inviting repeated listens to fully absorb the depth of Tibbetts’ musical vision. Rich in drones, acoustic textures, and subtle electric flourishes, the soundscape is shaped organically by Tibbetts, Marc Anderson, and JT on drums.
The interplay between East and West is beautifully woven throughout the album, with electric guitar appearing in tasteful bursts that enhance rather than disrupt the meditative flow. Percussion is used sparingly and effectively, adding rhythmic nuance without overpowering the atmosphere. Close is a deeply immersive experience—one that rewards patience and attention, revealing new layers with each listen.” - Travis Wade Evans
