Soaring like The Eagles on Robitussin, Flying Canyon's mournful California folk-rock slowly ascends into the desert sky. Imagine the distant moan of a melted CSN&Y cassette floating up from a boombox deep in a ravine while crows pick at a corpse on the mesa. Existing in the sun-baked tradition of burnt-out Cosmic Californians like Sky Sunlight Saxon, Skip Spence, David Crosby & Phil Perlman, frontman Cayce Lindner is tapping a rich vein of indigenous folk, rock & county. Much like their forefathers, FC are not traditionalists. With organ, fuzz bass, cathedral harmonies & cavernous drums, the band slows the pace to a funeral crawl. An apocalyptic & almost religious feeling emanates from this music, while Lindner, with quavering vocals of the Young/Garcia axis & a sensitive masculinity akin to Kristofferson, delivers his high desert eulogies; mournful tales of eternal love & despair. Backing Lindner are Shayde Sartin (KELLEY STOLTZ, SKYGREEN LEOPARDS) & Jewelled Antler's Glenn Donaldson (SKYGREEN LEOPARDS, THUJA, IVYTREE)
