| | september 2011 release ; ... after a coupla a.t. “merch table” sides, here’s the mass-market / vinyl entrance of nate young & john olson’s stare case, which seems to take nate’s “regression” lead (i.e. the s-o-c lyricism & errant bass-throb that anchor the b-side remain unchanged) with olson’s electronics & reeds floating aloft a dry midwest breeze over which nate’s rhythmic / near-pejorative / laissez-faire grumblings are laid ... |

| stare case
lose today
ind 096 lp
lose today wields the ethereal meditative power leftover from the velvet underground’s sweet sister ray epic bootleg. the result: a melodious somnolent grievance that leaves the listener to feast on a curiously endless and internal banquet.
young snarls and writhes in irritated spiraling pronouncements that trail off in regretful, pained fashion, producing the same eventual something-isn’t-right that the velvet underground secured, but set aside to allow the michigan basement bluesmen to borrow. also, here is young’s virgin performance on bass, a venture that proves suiting as his sparse yet stable meanderings are the backbone to a jam lost in the arcane. at times the bass lines seem to be counting off the seconds until an eventual meltdown.
meanwhile, olson wanders off on woodwinds, seemingly tangled in wavelengths, letting his own sounds guide him through a brassy chilling darkness. he follows scales—indian scales, blues scales—though the subtlety of olson’s discipline fosters to an expansive intimacy, a nuance so massive his quips on flute and saxophone are the secret architects of _lose today_’s meditation. olson takes the spiraling mania inspired by the likes of the vu’s sweet sister ray lose-all jam and lets it blossom into a soundtrack for a secret think tank whose sole purpose is to maintain a shadowed fire. |
