Description
Cardinal Fuzz and Hazy House are delighted to bring forth the hazy fried sounds of Ambassador Hazy - "The Traveler".
"The Traveler" favours a quaint and trippy aura over slick veneer where a naturalistic process is paramount; in hazy traceries of light, flickering with pastoral gauze and a terrifically druggy, weightless vibe. Since Ambassador Hazy's experiments hinge more on the magic moment -- a "first thought, best thought" impulse the Beats would've admired, than the deliberate path, and with 'The Traveler' their naturalistic-bordering-on-mystical aesthetic is firmly established for the opening bar.
Eleven brightly misty psych-pop relics that barely hang together, revelling in the organic now-nes, charting another little section of the sun-baked pasture of Sterling DeWeese's mind. Ambassador hazy recognizes the power that can detonate in the mind of the reverent user, blowing open the doors that lead away from self-consciousness and toward spontaneous states where music occurs as naturally as rain.
On "Modes Of Transport", a throttled electric guitar howls and hovers in mid-air as we are instructed to "leave our body behind", and "Afterglow" is a cryogenically-frozen Velvet Underground awaking crusty-eyed but unbowed in the new millennium while Syd Barrett wakes after a long nap.
If Fitzcarraldo ever gets around to building the opera house in the Peruvian jungle, Ambassador Hazy would be the opening act. The Traveler is presented in a 350gsm matt laminated outer sleeve and adorned with the eye-catching artwork by Erin Klauk. Pressed on heavy black vinyl, 250 copies.
