Elkington, James / Salsburg, Nathan

The duo's third album of instrumental guitar recordings pushes their sinuous compositions into labyrinthine new shapes, interlocking and interlocutory, supported by a cast of stellar collaborators. Interwoven among the dazzling original pieces is a fascinating array of covers, ranging from traditional Breton dance tunes to a deconstruction of Neneh Cherry's "Buffalo Stance." Their melody-first sensibilities are perfectly suited to each other... playfully complex guitar work that sounds as if it was tossed off in an afternoon of whiskey and laughs. - NPR - An intoxicating, intricate web... Wherever Salsburg and Elkington go, it's always a pleasure. - Aquarium Drunkard - Sounds like winter has always been approaching, like Indian summer never quite fades, like fall isn't built around loss. - Stereogum
