After years of outer space exploration in Yume Bitsu and
Surface of Eceyon, as well as stints as a hired gun for a
multitude of artists including Dirty Projectors, Jackie-O
Motherfucker and Devendra Banhart, Adam Forkner decided to
turn his focus inward and began to record solo material. And
focus he did, working at a dizzying pace that culminated in
the production of the 5CD/1DVD White Rainbow Box (2006
Marriage Records). The remarkable thing about that album was
not that it was 4.5 hours long, but that the overwhelming
majority of it was of extraordinary quality and not mere
filler.
With the release of ?Eternal Now, White Rainbow
has surpassed typical solo project territory and is now a
virtual elemental force. At a somewhat brief 71 minutes, his
kranky debut pulses and flows with mantric chants, clattering
percussions, sighing sustains and guitar leads unashamed of
their scorching transcendence. He breathes new life into
archaic sub-genres such as progrock, new age, and hippie folk
incantations, while never stooping to the negative aspects of
any of them, and at the same time remaining a step ahead of
the technologically crippled and virtuosuo-less looper pedal
scene. Prism of Eternal Now leaves behind the bounds of
gravity for a free floating meditational headtrip of inner
space exploration.
