Echoes CD of the Month: High Remembrance, by Unwed Sailor.
Formed in the late 1990s, Unwed Sailor create a distinctive, bass-led instrumental music with post-rock dynamics that can shift from driving grooves to rapturous melodicism. On their latest album, High Remembrance, they lean toward the melodic side. At the center is Jonathan Ford, using bass guitar as both the music’s melodic voice and rhythmic engine. His work carries echoes of new wave artists like The Cure and New Order, but it also has a distinctly American character: wide-open, cinematic expanses that feel like driving through a southwest highway at 90 miles an hour, then veering off the road toward a desert horizon. It’s a fitting Echoes CD of the Month for this semiquincentennial July.
