The work of Carter Tanton is relatively unknown outside of tight-knit indie circles, but there's already evidence to suggest he's going to be a lifer. In 2007 he released a record of bullish roots rock with Tulsa titled , only for that band to disintegrate before their potential was fully realized. Tanton has subsequently worked with Marissa Nadler and Baltimore art punks Lower Dens, establishing himself as a guitarist with both bands. His presence in Lower Dens continues, but he has also found time to record , an all-over-the-map solo effort that tugs strongly on the aura of David Bowie's "Wild Eyed Boy From Freecloud" for inspiration. Tanton is more rooted in earthly matters than Bowie, lending much of this record an agrarian feel that meshes with surges of serrated energy, perfectly intersecting his work with Nadler and Lower Dens.
