Native Kentuckian R. KEENAN LAWLER speaks a private,
fundamental language via his trademark metal-bodied resonator
guitar. With an intensely focused technique, he sets
bluegrass- and blues-inflected tonalities against dense masses
of harmonic overtones and sustained textures. It is a
mesmerizing sound, one that conjures the effect of various
global trance-musics and has beguiled a series of
collaborators including PELT, MATMOS, CHARALAMBIDES and MY
MORNING JACKET. Inhabiting the mysterious string-space between
TONY CONRAD and JOHN FAHEY, Lawler's is a wholly original
idiom of music that brims with near-religious exhaltation and
spectral, gothic dread -- a daring plunge through the darkened
brambles of a particularly raw Americana.
