Keith Wood, along with constant foil Leon Dufficy, is Hush
Arbors, and while his self-titled Ecstatic Peace! debut is not
his first album by any means - he's been at this almost ten
years - it does provide the perfect introductory point to Hush
Arbor's distinctive take on psych folk. Combining the pensive
songwriting of John Phillips circa Wolfking, the plaintive
honesty of Neil Young, and the fishtank-gazing cacophony of
Six Organs of Admittance (Wood is a frequent collaborator),
Wood writes classic-sounding songs that sound readymade for AM
radio, circa 1968.
These songs would play as comfortably over a scene from The
Wonder Years as they would piping from a noxious chillout tent
at Terrastock. There are songs here that resonate with the
minor key melancholy of Bert Jansch or perhaps even Mark
Kozelek, while others hint at a Wire subscriber's Siamese
Dream, all propulsive rhythms and lysergic electric guitar.
Some albums are 'growers' - not this one. While repeated
listens reveal more and more details, as good albums should,
this is also an album that commands immediate attention. Try
to put it on in a crowded room - just try. You'll have a
'High-Fidelity-Beta-Band' scene on your hands within two
minutes.
