Lonely Desert Ice Cream Cone


Riley Reasor’s new tape Tumbleweeds sounds like bizarre, isolated, ancient desert music. Songs like “Tumbleweeds” and “Wrong Angles” have a Mojave Beefheartesque feel while the vocals on the opening track “Life’s Green Lane” sounds like a melting ice cream cone. There are enough twists and turns like the electronic dread of the tune “Trapezoid” to keep it interesting and fun if you’re into weird. “Shuttered In” offers Richard Hellish vocals, bridging the gap between Captain Beefheart and Robert Quine. The last track “Columns” is a 10+ minute voyage into the void obliterating the listener, finally going off the deep-end into Jim Sullivan territory.
