Both

Free guitar for the new age: improv with intention, construction and destruction, all with the grain and air of performance captured and telescoped in a sonic particle collider. Makes sense, and not just because of the chaotic times. With Both, terminal collaborator Bill Nace (Body/Head, Thurston Moore) has found a stimulating, chiaroscuro-stubbled path back to the electric guitar's anarchic promise, drawn through eight colorful pieces that are equal parts sound, noise and music.

The experimental guitarist who made his name on collaboration steps into the spotlight with a meditative, ominous solo LP. Each of these eight pieces is like a pitch-black room, easy to enter but tricky to navigate.
