Brokeback – Night falls on Chillicothe (from the album Illinois River Valley Blues, Thrill Jockey)
Sumptuous mood piece from Doug McCombs and friends from only the fourth Brokeback album I was surprised to learn, although of course McCombs has been plenty busy with other projects.
If the title suggests cinema, so does the quietly intense atmosphere – a weary travelogue maybe, or a melancholic memoir.
The gorgeous slowly unwinding guitar lines smoulder, reminsicient of McCombs’ work with Tortoise, and underneath a bed of steel guitar shimmers.
Instrumental music doesn’t get much more beautiful or meaningful than this.
