Search - Harris Newman :: Decorated

"Newman unravels the rudimentary basics of his technique into some beautifully hypnotic spools, combining tough solo conceptions in the mode of John Fahey with some group-thing and a few deeply psychedelic tone poems. This is the real deal." - The Wire Of the players involved in the recent resurgence of fingerstyle guitar, Harris Newman has established himself as a primary envoy on the modern day steel-stringer shortlist. Following up the critically acclaimed Accidents with Nature and Each Other, Newman unveils his third album Decorated, yet another beautiful, forward-thinking take on the steel-string sound. Extracting elements of folk and blues and exposing them bare, Harris Newman dresses up his music in cinematic "post-rock" attire. Decorated is accessible solo guitar music for the experimentally minded, illustrating why Newman's take on the tradition sets him apart from the pack.
