Six Organs Of Admittance has just kicked off their most expansive European tour in a long time, including Portugal, UK, Ireland, Benelux, the Iberian Peninsula, Scandinavia, Central and Eastern Europe.
The one apparently simple thing that has always made Six Organs of Admittance stand out from the crowd is his ability to create cerebral music that’s brimful of soul, and ‘Time is Glass’ is a perfect example of that winning combination.
Six Organs of Admittance, the long-running moniker of Ben Chasny, announces his 21st album, Time is Glass, out April 26th via Drag City, and shares its lead single/video, “The Mission” – a nod to the acid-folk of Current 93 and the cosmic pop of Chris Bell’s Big Star.
Ben Chasny and Rick Tomlinson “drank delicious beer on sunny afternoons and had fantastic dinners” while recording ‘Waves’… an album in which we feel the warm vibrations of their dreams and visions.
Taken from his forthcoming album The Intimate Landscape, Ben Chasny (Six Organs of Admittance) has shared another dose of minimalist ambience with a visualiser for the album track Second Moon.
With Companion Rises, Chasny has done something even more intriguing than usual: by pushing the experimental envelope further than before he has somehow emerged with a collection of songs that are amongst the most immediately rewarding of his twenty-plus year career.
It is ‘Burning The Threshold’s’ tangible atmosphere as much as its songcraft that makes it one of Ben Chasny’s (Six Organs of Admittance) most accomplished and accessible releases to date.
Six Organs of Admittance announces acoustic follow-up to Hexadic. What may identify to some ears as folk music is caught in an equally compelling undertow of powerful subterranean energy. Hexadic II is simultaneously more inviting and challenging, listen to Exultation Wave.
In a new video Ben Chasney (Six Organs of Admittance) , talks through and demonstrates the Hexadic system he used on his latest album. A book has now been released for those that fancy digging deeper – How to Party with Long-dead Occult Philosophers, Math, and your guitar.
Our Song of the Day is a live video recording from a couple of years ago at Cecil Sharp House: Six Organs Of Admittance performing ‘Black Needles Rhymes’.
