Rootless is perhaps at his most progressive on this, his latest album for Aural Canyon.

Experimental sound sculptor and guitarist Rootless (real name Jeremy Hurewitz) has been on a seriously strong kick lately, with a stream of excellent solo and collaborative releases within the last 12 months. The provocatively named To Build Yourself a Temple is to Wall Yourself Inside is the latest and perhaps most personal of the bunch, complete with introspective spoken word experimentations and deeply meditative sonic explorations.

Featuring spiritually-inclined ambient soundscapes and fingerpicked acoustic guitar abstractions, this album reveals just how forward thinking Hurewitz’s music can truly be. Tracks like “Vectors of Nowhere” and “Camunian Rose” appear to be the results of the Brooklyn-based artist pushing the guitar soli and new age music worlds into the future, blending in unexpected sounds and elements from a deep well of other genres and aural flavors.

For a fine example of genuinely progressive music in our times, grab this tape from Aural Canyon today.
