Notes
Black Sun Ensemble's Jesus Acedo returns, following up last year's Hymn of the Master with 11 new slow-burning songs from the depths of the southwestern desert. As always, one can't help but focus on Acedo's blasted guitar work, but this time around there's more balance as well. Contributions from other Arizona luminaries, returning from the previous album, include Eric Johnson, Brian Maloney, and Joseph Graves. Starlight is, in some ways, a bit of a transitional record, with a wider range of songwriting and a broader palette of sounds. For the most part this is still Acedo's show, but the focus is blurred by elements like Graves' vocal contributions, keyboard riffs, and broader sax accompaniment, as well as some songwriting by Johnson. The album's opener, "Jewel of the Seven Stars", is a perfect introduction. It builds slowly but surely upon an eastern-tinged banjo, like a trek across a wasteland of desert sand and a hot, hot sun. Sax and clarinet drone in the background, with simple congas providing momentum - it's a beautiful, cavernous ride. "Loki's Monstrous Brood" immediately starts out heavier, not the only song here to bring a bit of a modern King Crimson feel. Thick guitars and a vaguely prog-rock punkiness, the churning rock is tastefully decorated by Maloney's sax. "The Lycian" opens with a Farflung-like space-rock riff, then hits a dense, descending series of power chords and thick, distorted leads. This also feels reminiscent of recent Crimson, in a good way. "I Am I Was" reminds me just a bit of Dream Syndicate, with jangly strummed guitars and Eric Johnson's mildly wasted voice, both catchy and melancholy. The song comes to a fake end halfway through, then morphs into fine guitar-led jamming. "Remedios Rising" offers up a drifting, deep-space ambience that builds ever so slowly out of ebb-and-flow guitar waves, with the sax taking a fairly sedate center stage, while "Mascara Moon" really heats up it's fuzzed-out guitar groove when the guitar lead cuts loose. With the able sax accompaniment, it feels nicely Stooges-esque. New work from Black Sun Ensemble is always something to look forward to, and Starlight, despite some off moments, is a fine addition to the canon. The nearly 10-minute "Jewel of the Seven Stars" is practically worth the price of admission on it's own, but there's much more to appreciate here as well.? - Mason Jones, Dusted.
