Altered Zones

High Wolf, the French-born, Djakata-based, Indiafile returns after last year's fine LP Ascension with another mind altering, pyschic whirlwind. "Free Your Energy Field," from his A Guide To Healing 7"due this March via Bathetic Records, begins with a deep tribal pulse that recalls the stylings of Not Not Fun labelmates Sun Araw. Soon, those Indian psychedelic influences take hold as drones melt into splashes of tablas, and expansive sounds emulating the sitar of Ravi Shankar and Hindustani music, soar over the top. Without noticing, you are suddenly awash in sound. And then it is gone again before you realized it had even started. --Daniel Gottlieb, Altered Zones
