PRODUCT DETAILS
If you've been following the wanderings of prolific psychedelic magicians Elkhorn, you might be surprised that Elkhorn guitarist Drew Garder's solo LP Wave Field is the most out and out "rock" record on VHF in many years. Working here in a small group with excellent players Tom Malach (guitar), Andy Cush (bass), and Ryan Jewel (drums), Gardner cuts loose on a set of propulsive and swinging material that allows him to greatly expand his sound into unexpected areas. "Rhizoid" starts with a sneaky groove riding the nimble bass and drums of Cush and Jewel before a leap into the ripping Sonic Youth/NEU! Hybrid of "Space Ray." "Shadow Casting Grass" brings things back down to end the side with some Elkhorn-adjacent gentle guitar weave backed again by the sly rhythm section. "Wave Field" kicks off side 2 with an extended buzzy guitar raga with Cush's melodic and fat bass providing jammy counterpoint. The epic "Mayan Bees" closes the LP with an extended workout on another extremely fine drum and bass ostinato, a hypnotic minor key riff that slow builds over 10+ minutes.
