His second album, 2001's Steve Shelley-produced "Barn Doors And Concrete Floors", found an audience in Europe, though it was his 2014 release, "Rain Plans", that became a critical breakout in the US. After settling in the Texas Hill County outside of Austin, his music took an increasingly cerebral and psychedelic bent on album's like 2015's "Silver Season" and 2018's "Lifted". Israel Nash presents his latest long play, "Lifted". It is a modern day hippie-spiritual, a tonic for those needing to put aside the mess of the daily grind. With luscious beds of strings, horns and well adorned towering walls of sound, "Lifted" finds Nash continuing his tradition of creating a sonic experience of feeling that is at once both vast and intimate - soaring and untamed at times, placid and sincerely personal at others. Nash wrote and recorded "Lifted" with the intention of achieving a sonic experience that will elevate the listener - that the feeling of peace, love and happiness which saturates the words and music can provide the same escape he achieved while creating the LP. Inspired by methods pioneered by John Cage, Nash randomised sounds and music and rearranged them according to the I Ching (The Book Of Changes). Utilising these recording and tracking techniques help create a sonic and very present picture of NashÆs Texas Hill Country home and his life. Accompanied by his longtime band, with arrangements by Jesse Chandler (Mercury Rev, Midlake), horns by members of Austin's cumbia/funk compadres Grupo Fantasma, and strings from Kelsey Wilson and Sadie Wolf of indie pop's Wild Child, Nash, alongside co-producer and engineer Ted Young (Kurt Vile, The Rolling Stones), presents an album that soars as a masterwork of American roots songs, meticulously crafted and gently sprinkled with life meaning and multi-hued rock and psychedelia. ┌────────┐ ────┤ Salute ├───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── └────────┘ BERC r35 GCP FWYH NuHS GRAVEWISH JCE KLV
