Time Indefinite

Description

Following crucial stints with Silver Jews and Lambchop, William Tyler emerged with a series of curious albums that paired his rural upbringing and enthusiasm for classical music with his fervor for experimentation and field recordings. This productive enclave of instrumental music has not only given rise to new sounds but also to new critical voices. No other American solo guitar player this century has had such an impact on this fecund scene. On the brilliant and bracing *Time Indefinite*, William Tyler’s first solo album in five years, he finally commits to the increasingly vast whirlpool he helped create. The guitar is the starting point for an album that will make you reconsider not only William, but also the possibilities of an entire field. A vortex of noise and harmonies, of ghosts and dreams, of angst and hope, this is not just a great guitar record. It’s a stunning record by a great guitar player, a masterpiece for our collectively anxious times.
