This week’s PBS Feature Album is Anywhere Here by instrumental psych jam band COMETS.
COMETS are back with another seemingly effortless number in Anywhere Here. It was recorded in a similar fashion to Rain Faces, out at Ghostriter, but this time the band sent word to a few friends to throw some sounds over the top and see what happened.
The result is a sprint through an overgrown city with Mika Kohlman’s sprightly saxophone on ‘Lost Car’ or
of curious robots studying human behaviour (hear Mikey Young’s glimmering synth on ‘Dress for
Texture’). It’s also Koral Chandler’s introspective meditations, rising and falling, reflecting on ‘Sun
Standstill’.
It all culminates in the last tune with Blake Scott’s revolving tale, delivered swaggering in swing with the
band, putting his pinch of salt on ‘Lipschutt’. Clocking in at over 11 minutes and weaving many moods,
‘Lipschutt’ is the perfect intersection of artists throwing the book out of the window and seeing what
happens.
Tune in all this week to hear tracks from Anywhere Here, and PBS Members have the chance to win a copy of the album on vinyl, simply email your name and membership number to before midnight Sunday January 28.
