Vol.4

2017 release from psych-swirler Pete Nolan (AKA Spectre Folk). The album features musical assistance from prime players including Aaron Mullan (Tall Firs/Hallogallo), Mark Ibold (Pavement/Dustdevils), Peter Meehan (Lucky Peach zine) and Steve Shelley (Sonic Youth). Vol. 4 evokes history and journeys, both in leader Nolan's travelogues of places and experiences around the world, and in the band's reverential nods to musical history/tips of the hat to psych-swirlers of the past. Their first full length since 2012's Ancient Storm, Vol. 4 heaps more generous servings of layered, lava lamp-drip guitars, lethargic riffs and choogling sun stare moments both epic and subtle.
