about

Expanding the scope and perspective of Red Resonant Earth, the Land Mass companion album (included as a bonus tape with certain vinyl editions of RRE) fits together seven tracks that ground spiritual seeking and cosmic wandering deep in the mycorrhizal soil and roots of the planet. Employing the same electric 12-string-plus-loops setup as RRE, many of these improvised recordings were in consideration for the final tracklist of that LP; here, they function together as far more than cast-off pieces, but rather as a cohesive album in intent and performance. Leading off with sidelong opus "Land Mass", the title's wordplay is earned across its 24 minutes, as tides shift along with the lead guitar's genuflections toward the divinity of the natural world. This reverence continues across the B-side's collection of shorter tracks - six instrumental nature-hymns of rapturous appreciation for the sanctity of wilderness. Whether taken alone or in a set with Red Resonant Earth and its family tree of associated branches (Creek Baptism, Pan-Gaia on The Jewel Garden, and more slated for future release), Land Mass blows the doors, walls, and roof off the chapel to seek the sacred in the terrestrial forms that surround us.
