Tiger Flower Circle Sun

by Christopher Willits

Overview

Like Surf Boundaries, Christopher Willits' first album for Ghostly International, Tiger Flower Circle Sun -- the musician's second for the label -- is buoyed by massaging flickers, gentle sound clashes between analog and electronic gear. While the handful of fully ornamented, full-blown songs are more affecting here than they are on Surf Boundaries, the sections that thrill the most occur during weightlessness -- the tendril-like guitars in "New Life," the ambient Free Design harmonies in "Intend-Evolve" and "Green Faces," the On Land-worthy atmospheres in the closing "Flowers into Stardust." Speaking of Brian Eno, "Sun Body" involves a swift, sluicing guitar solo that is one of the more impressive attempts at cloning Robert Fripp's sound circa Another Green World. ~ Andy Kellman
