Dj FrequenciesThis Gust of Wind comes through the park with sunglasses, fuzzed out noise, and a coolness undeniably perked from Rock-n-Roll. White Fence has a sound that throws back to the 60’s, evoking rolls down the hill, acid drops, and a girl with long curly hair that you keep trying to find, but of course the drugs have tricked you.
There is something that reminds me of the ride home during the dawn of an after party, with all the “colorful balloons” floating in the air. As you drive out of the cold darkness, lost in some random inner city with no where to piss, remember, you can play Signer on your way home and all will be forgotten.
This Gust of Wind wakes you when the dogs howl rides over the empty streets. You lift up suddenly from dreaming of something you vividly recall, but can’t decisively remember.
This record has moments that signal to the past, as if to say he hasn’t forgotten his original self. He clearly hasn’t, even when enticed by the dollar bills of a major, Banhart is still Banhart.
East of Eden’s songs are thoroughly accessible, and most of the music comes from instrumentations generally found in the World genre. On their latest effort, Taken by Trees makes it clear that Pakistan’s rich musical history is expressed through the lens of the western world’s pop culture. The album is soothing to say the least. It lays with a beautiful texture that calls upon peace to all. I see the flags blowing in the wind, and the rich fulfilling ability of East of Eden lifting the hearts of millions.
This Gust of Wind goes round and round, painting pictures in the fog. The dead leaves swirl through the night, casting silhouettes above railroads. Inevitably, the street light will flicker in the dead ends of inner-city neighborhoods.
There are moments of straight fire, with Le Loup bringing the morning air and the energy of the sun.
This Gust of Wind gives meaning to the word Classic, establishing its place as one of the most important albums to hit the shelves in a long time.
This Gust of Wind holds us close while the leaves fall from the trees, and the summer memories fade into something more calm, something more tame, something we will miss, but inevitably have to wait for. As the clock spins and the days change into the New Year, this gust of wind will be right there, complementing the haze of autumn.
