Six Organs of Admittance Shares Summer’s Last Rays

If you listened to “The Mission,” you’re not going to get anything like it with the new single from Time is Glass, the new LP from Six Organs of Admittance. This new single is all about craftsmanship, it’s as if the guitar playing is done as an exercise in artistry, a need for life to spring from the strings. It builds slowly, with a faint sense of danger in the tones of the strings, moving forward for nearly two minutes. As guitar lines overlap, other textures begin to unfold, heightening that sense of unease that ebbed beneath the surface; it grows and grows until the end, where it just drops out, letting both the listener and Ben Chasny take a rest. Time is Glass hits on April 26th via Drag City.
