Jeff Gburek – Corduroy Cascade

Normally, I’m more than happy to present works from Jeff Gburek and those associated with his music because the quality is high as it comes to experimental or other such avant-garde music. This, however, is a departure from what I’m used to hearing from him, and to say it’s a stunning one is putting it mildly.

The track weighs in at under 8 minutes, but is more a lush, truly acid-folk-inspired work. There are elements of projects like the American psychedelic folk band Changes, Coptic/esoteric period Current 93 (without the rambling), and a great lo-fi quality that reminds me of some of the truly amazing works of New Zealand-based artists like Alastair Galbraith and Roy Montgomery.

Even so, this takes on a life of its own, and though I’m using the reference points listed above, this is a singular work. It’s my hope that Jeff decides to continue, at least as a side project, in this direction, as a full album of this sort of sound would be most welcome in this home.
