olmec   4/6/2011   12-inch, A Library

Country Ways {Mid-To-Late Records, 2011} is improvised psych and lo-fi space rock from Carlton Melton. For what it’s worth, this comes from Mendocino. All instrumental. Lay on your back and let the clouds roll in.

1: A 20 minute slab of epic spaced-out strumming and gentle drums.
2: Thrumming guitar meets confident drums for Full Moon Revisted. A midnight ceremony of transcendence. 7:50
3: Solo wah guitar and quiet crickets. Very calm and cool. 5:30
4: Two guitars and minimal drumming. An ominous end to this LP. 6:50
