The solo guitarist’s latest Album on the prolific Flower Room label is subtly progressive. It’s celestial without being sleepy, and rarely stays still.
If the word “stream” hadn’t been so normalized by how everyone listens to Music these days, it would be exactly the perfect word to describe Matt LaJoie’s new album. In both its effect and its creation, the gorgeous new Everlasting Spring is streaming. The music feels like an afternoon by a slow-moving creek, surface reflections peacefully changing with the light. Across four one-take improvisations on 10-string acoustic guitar run through a delay loop pedal and reverb, LaJoie’s extended pieces ripple and cascade, grow intricate, and thin out again.
