Wild Strawberries

Portland, Oregons sonic explorers Eternal Tapestry have always had a feeling of interplay between their impressionistic music and the dense forests that surround their hometown, but on their newest album, Wild Strawberries, they take that naturalistic inspiration to a new level. Wild Strawberries is a massive double album, which was recorded in a secluded cabin under the shadow of Mount Hood in Zigzag, OR. The contrast between the openness of the massive Oregon sky and the denseness of the trees is echoed in Wild Strawberries expansive guitar tones and looming organ drones. The album is thick with the lysergic leads that populated their earlier releases, but the airiness of the woods has seeped into Nick Bindemans guitar playing, refining it and opening it up to new modal possibilities.
