Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"First solo album in a long while from this staple of the Calgary creative music scene. This album presents a positively rank collection of improvised pieces performed on Oliver's old resonator guitar, and stands among his finest, most fully realized work. The album falls into the loose continuum of extreme guitar re-think solo albums on Bug Incision, with previous entries being made by the likes of Chris Riggs, David Payne (aka Fossils), Scott "Monty" Munro, and others."-Bug Incision
