Altered Zones

Matt Valentine, known primarily for his urban-turned-rural folk of the '90s with Tower Recordings through the 2000s with MV & EE. The man is violently proficient in all of his endeavors but never to the point of redundancy. His newest effort for Woodsist, What I Became, was recorded at the oft-used and positively abused "Maximum Arousal Farm" home studio. I would be remiss as a writer if I did not mention the striking resemblance between MV's "PK Dick" and George Harrison's stasis of hill-country and Indian classical music, most recently explored by Julian Lynch. "PK Dick" is a slow burner, but is as genuine and distinct as songs come these days. --Ryan Ellis, Weekly Tape Deck
