FRKWYS Vol. 11: Mike Cooper & Steve Gunn - Cantos De Lisboa
“Kurt Vile collaborator Steve Gunn was paired with transgressive folk-rock explorer Mike Cooper for the most recent installment of RVNG Intl.'s FRKWYS series. The seven-song result might feel at first like a grab bag, as the pair moves between a number of styles, techniques, and instruments, but Cantos de Lisboa isn’t nearly as sporadic or assorted as it initially seems.”
Fratello Mare
“Mike Cooper isn’t widely known, but to the extent that the wider world has heard of him, it’s as part of the canon of exploratory singer-songwriters of the '60s and '70s. But he also provides live music for silent films, paints and does collage, and releases albums of experimental, loop-based guitar music. The shimmering, tropical Fratello Mare is one such album.”
Raft
“A long way from his 1970s folk-rock roots, the veteran guitarist travels far beyond the limits of genre, fusing pedal steel with ambient glitches and piercing insect sounds.”
