Loren Connors and Alan Licht play together at Issue Project Room.
Into the Night Sky is the sixth album from avant guitarists Alan Licht and Loren Connors, the first after 2003’s In France (FBWL). Since 1993 these New York City artists have evolved an instrumental dialogue merging shades of electric blues and minimalism. These two epic pieces — one from 1996, the other 2006 — recorded live in concert clearly show far their desolate sound world grew over a decade of collaboration while the core of layered guitar complexities and alien melodies remain. The atmosphere conjured by the Licht-Connors duo is unmistakable — the ebb of eloquently shaped feedback — while the harmonic patterns recall 20th century classical music.
Lee Ranaldo opens.
