Undercurrents [LP]

Matthew Young - Undercurrents [LP]

Matthew Young's brand-new Undercurrents, recorded intermittently since the late 1970s, collects eight oddly dissimilar pieces that somehow fit together perfectly. Ranging from heady synthesizer experiments to earthy dulcimer meditations, Undercurrents is unique enough to be called outsider while still occupying a musical world accessible to fans of many genres. It fits in perfectly alongside-as well as builds and expands upon-the work within and the ideas of his previous two LPs, Recurring Dreams (1981, reissued 2014) and Traveler's Advisory (1986, reissued 2010), showcasing Young's ability to balance the melodic and the meditative.
