Earlier this summer Oakland-based musician, composer, and producer Chuck Johnson released his new album, Sun Glories – released via Western Vinyl. It’s an album that explores themes of time, memory, and illusion through his unique blend of pedal steel, synths, organs, strings, and drums.
“Sylvanshine” is a gorgeous blend of meditative instrumentation and soothing sounds that blur the lines of electronic, ambient and instrumental indie rock in the vein of Explosions In The Sky and a gentle stirring film score quality. – as well as some mid-career Bon Iver.
Speaking on the track, Johnson adds:
“This track is an appreciative nod to Rachika Nayar, whose recent works have re-opened the electric guitar for me and inspired me to play that instrument again after a hiatus of several years”
