John Davis / Callaci,Dennis - Arches & Pathways [LP]

Vinyl LP pressing. Recorded over a three day weekend in July of 2019, Arches & Pathways finds The Folk Implosion's John Davis and Refrigerator's Dennis Callaci reuniting following their Room For Space LP from twenty five years back. That first record was improvised and recorded in one afternoon live to a one track. This record has the luxury of being recorded over three days by engineer Steve Folta in the Callaci living room. The improvised collection features brand new songs written and recorded over those three days by the two of them building upon a live take of piano and drums, or dueling guitars and layering the new baby with overdubs immediately afterward to capture all that was in the room at the time. Expertly mixed by Scott Solter, it is a modern day minimal psych score whose guts are pushed into the skin of songs. Songs of minimal expanse.
