Product Description

Description

Six Organs of Admittance have always been at the forefront of the psych-folk revival in the '00s by virtue of Ben Chasny's incredibly accomplished guitar playing. While most acts in the movement were content with leaning on a chanted vocalor open chord, Chasny put a muscular edge into his drones with dizzyingly complex tablature. SHELTER FROM THE ASH continues this remarkable string of records with a song cycle built on the interlocking of intense acoustic- and explosive electric-guitar melodies. The record alternates between Chasny's essentially solo acoustic compositions, such as the beautifully menacing "Jade Like Wine", and full-throttle, full-band workouts such as the title track, a mesmerizing twin guitar blast that'll bore new chakras into listeners' skulls.

4.0 out of 5 stars Shelter from the Ash...., 22 Jan 2008
By Amplified Man (Manchester) - See all my reviews
I've loved Six Organ's music for a while now. I have several albums and enjoy every one of them. Ben Chasny is a fantastic acoustic guitarist. I could listen to his subtle compositions for hours and not tire of them. When he began adding electric guitar and drone textures on later albums it heightened the spirituality and depth of his playing. His voice isn't very strong but it's fragility perfectly compliments what is going on around it. School of the Flower is the high point so far. It is extremely listenable and very memorable.
Shelter from the Ash is Chasny's ten millionth album as Six Organs of Admittance and is subtly different and varies from his others once again.
The first track; Alone With the Alone had me a bit worried; it's quite atonal and doesn't seem to have any sort of rhythm or structure and is only saved from the pit of despair by a nice wah solo and the odd snatch of vocal. However, Strangled Road is a fantastic track and could be classed and Six Organs' `hit'. It's pretty much an orthodox folk song with a classic verse chorus structure. His voice has become a lot stronger and more confindent in recent years and there is no finer example than here. This time his vocals are augmented by Elisa Ambrogio's soft backing which provides a great accompaniment and takes the track to another level.
Jade Like Wine is a standard Six Organs track and features Chasny's developed, stronger, more up front vocal. It, as always has some great guitar work.
Coming to Get You is another talking point; it's a very doomy track compared with his usual body of work and even has some chugging electric guitar and really stands out as a highlight.
This time, Shelter from the Ash doesn't have a huge drone/soundscape/noise piece. It makes the album much more concise and wholly more enjoyable as an entire album. The tracks are more of a consistent length this time; ranging from 4 mins to 8 mins rather than have a couple of 1/2min interludes and a huge 15+ min epic.
It's a very enjoyable album and a worthy addition to an already fantastic body of work.
For fans of folk, psychedelic rock and even those into a bit of virtuoso acoustic musicianship like John Fahey, John Martyn, Richard Bishop, Robbie Basho etc.
