Lilah Larson – “I”
This morning, the ever-reliable and artistically flourishing Ruination Record Co. unveiled “Solo Guitar Improvisations,” a captivating assortment of instrumental explorations crafted by Lilah Larson, known for their contributions to acts like Cassandra Jenkins and Thao. Any mention of solo guitar instrumentals is met with enthusiasm here, and Lilah’s remarkable work on this project certainly lives up to expectations. Dive right in with the opening track, “i” – an interesting choice of title, which initially led me to interpret it as an article rather than a Roman numeral. This collection features a blend of enlightening electric compositions and exquisitely intricate acoustic meditations.
