Prana Crafter and Ragenap No Ear To Hear
7.5 / 10
Prana Crafter / Ragenap No Ear To Hear is a soothing album with artistic sonic creations that honor the passing of Robert Hunter, the lyricist for the Grateful Dead. It’s filled with emotion and abstract expression and beauty in tribute to the passing of a music legend. Unlike most tributes it features no works from Robert hunter but rather captures the raw emotional response of these two create explorers.
Prana Crafter / Ragenap No Ear To Hear released by Cardinal Fuzz and Centripetal Force on April 10th 2020.
Prana Crafter / Ragenap No Ear To Hear Side 1 is Prana Crafter with “Beggar’s Tomb“. The music flows freely slowly building starting as a soothing ambience with a sense of disorientation and builds into electrified guitars mournfully jamming with a restrained emotional intensity.
“Beggar’s Tomb” is expressive poetry in sound the arc of the song rises into more noise and disembodied swirls of sound back down to phasing back ground synths and clean guitars echoing into the vast expanse.
Ragenap fills side B with “Nightfall” which is also a tribute to Robert Hunter following his death. The electric guitar is rapidly fingerpicked making an American Primitive folk style drone with overblown reverb and distortions. A soothing lead guitar line selects its moments to bring melody to the galvanizing cascade created by the finger picked electric.
Prana Crafter / Ragenap No Ear To Hear is a split Lp with each group filling one side of the LP. Prana Crafter is based in Seattle, Washington USA by William Sol. Ragenap by Joel Berk from the Midwestern USA. This album was originally released on cassette by Bakes Tapes.
