Six Organs of Admittance, Don McGreevy

Ben Chasny has been releasing recordings under the Six Organs of Admittance moniker since 1998. Sometimes labeled as “freak folk” (back when that was a thing, see: Devendra Banhart), Chasny’s otherworldly psych transmissions have slightly more of an edge on the latest record, Burning the Threshold. While the early/mid-’00s Dark Noontide/Compathia-era material all still sounds fresh after 10 years, Threshold moves beyond the heavy Eastern guitar and drone meditations in a more austere, dark-folk direction, recalling the blackened yet pillowy fantasy realm of when Neurosis get soft. This bill also transcends with original Master Musicians of Bukkake drummer/Earth bassist Don McGreevy, whose 2014 pastoral Appalachian fingerpicking record Aichmophobia also includes hints of no-wave/experimental legend Glenn Branca and effortlessly deployed glockenspiel.
