DOWNLOAD: Richard Youngs – Tessellations
Richard Youngs creates a lot of terror out of an acoustic guitar and a few sliding notes on “Tessellations,” from his album Amplifying Host, out July 19 from Jagjaguwar. The song sounds like being lost in the dessert feels, ominous and expansive, a free form folk song combining elements of jazz and minimal drone music that threatens to latch on to a melody or rhythm, but disintegrates each time the suggestion bubbles up, as if it has lost its way again. It’s a strange listen, almost frustrating at first but, like much of Youngs’ work, deeply rewarding once you let its strangeness take hold.
