Editions Mego releases How The Thing Sings by Bill Orcutt “Yet another essential cracking new set of songs from Bill Orcutt, showcasing a further development of his unique visceral acoustic style. The language that Orcutt uses looks familiar at first glance, but cut deeper and its myriad of twisted audio thats both full on and drenched in melancholy, usually in the same gasping breath. While a lot of it is the classic face melting style, some quieter segments counter balance on the title track as well the epic closer ‘A Line From Ol’Man River’ and ‘Heaven Is Closed To Me Now’” Available from Amazon, Forced Exposure, Boomkat, Mimaroglu & elsewhere.

“ Four more sides of a carpenter sawing through your psyche. Bill Orcutt’s visceral threnodies alternate between barbed wire and lonesome lunar baying, maybe with a bit more separation between the styles than what was found on A New Way to Pay Old Debts. Here we sense skill turning into mastery, a language being refined after its creation. Orcutt still leaves the dried blood on the strings of that hotrodded Kay acoustic, and he walks right up and smacks you in the face on “Bored with the Moon” (listen, you’ll hear what I mean).

“ Orcutt’s playing expands on concrete moments, historical or temporary. There is a grounded, mono-chordal sanity even to his more free pieces, and his periodic non-word moans and shouts bring an eerie hoodoo feel to the set (which The Wire referred to at the time as Orcutt’s “spooky boogie”), as if trying to channel the same angels or demons that Fahey tried to evoke with his motel room Tuva throat singing.
