\"\"Anywhere is an aggregation of indie\/underground artists who collectively make a psychedelic folk sound. But Anywhere doesn’t sound like acid-folk, though: there’s a solid rock foundation to the group’s music. A swirling feel that conjures memories of the Beatles’ “Tomorrow Never Knows” characterizes songs like “Bone Flute Blues.”<\/p>\n

On II<\/em>, Anywhere conjures a soaring, surprisingly accessible sonic stew. The group \u2013 a rotating cast that includes Mike Watt \u2013 hasn’t been terribly prolific, and some of Anywhere’s releases have been in connection with Record Store Day. The group’s second full-length is just such an item. Fans of Black Angels (to name just one touchstone) will find II<\/em> pleasantly warm and welcoming; Anywhere combines the gentleness and texture of Fleet Foxes (without that group’s mannered vocal approach) with a hypnotic instrumental approach that at times recalls mid-period Led Zeppelin.<\/p>\n

The vinyl for this RSD release is a translucent pale blue, and the cover art \u2013 front and back \u2013 is simply stunning in his vividness and eye-popping high resolution.<\/p>\n

This review is part of a week-long series covering new vinyl releases and\/or reissues, including titles scheduled for special release on Record Store Day 2018, this coming Saturday (April 21). Please support your local independent record store.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
