█ █
█ "Dispossession is the second full length from Brooklyn's Mike Wexler, █
█ and his debut for Mexican Summer. An artist who defies easy █
█ categorization--a songwriter/guitarist without a traditionalist bone in █
█ his body, with an ear for far flung sound-worlds and sonic atmospheres █
█ both high & low, Wexler brings all of his manifold interests to bear in █
█ carving out a space for a singular vision uniquely attuned to the █
█ present moment. Dispossession is the product of over two years of █
█ intermittent recording. It features players from the worlds of █
█ underground rock (ex members of White Magic and The Occasion), free █
█ improvisation (Ryan Sawyer, Nate Wooley, Jessica Pavone), synth and █
█ string textures inspired by the likes of Eliane Radigue and the █
█ Spectralists, a vocal and lyrical presence of unsettling, █
█ near-subliminal depth, and the omnipresent backbone of fingerstyle █
█ guitar, without a trace of 'Americana' to be heard. The basic band █
█ tracks were recorded live, at more or less the moment when the █
█ arrangements first crystallized, so there's a bedrock of spontaneity and █
█ a free feeling to the proceedings, complicated by the highly mapped-out █
█ nature of the subsequent orchestration, synth washes and overdubs. It's █
█ a record that fits the broken mold of auteurist songwriters who nod to █
█ the ideas of forward looking writers and artists in their work, a loose █
█ lineage that could include musicians like Robert Wyatt, Scott Walker, or █
█ Richard Youngs." █
